Abstract

We report a case of refractory life-threatening warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) associated with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) for which all conventional treatments had failed. The use of eculizumab allowed controlling hemolysis and resulted in transfusion independence. These data support the use of eculizumab in refractory wAIHA.
