Abstract | Warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia (WAIHA) is a rare disease that leads to the destruction of red blood cells in the reticuloendothelial system through the mediation of agglutinins (immunoglobulin G (IgG) type in most cases) that attach to the erythrocyte wall at 37 °C. The association of WAIHA and venous thromboembolism (VTE) seems to be higher than other hemolytic disorders classically associated with VTE and there is a current investigation aimed at clarifying this association and establishing some criteria to use anticoagulant treatment in patients with WAIHA. Despite this, WAIHA is a rare cause for the development of recurrent VTE under secondary prophylactic anticoagulant treatment, with only a few cases described in the literature. We present the case of a patient who developed a recurrence of deep vein thrombosis during a WAIHA episode despite treatment with acenocoumarol and a review of the literature. |
