Abstract

Anti-D immunoglobulin can cause acute hemolysis when used in the treatment of Rh(D) positive patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The use of Anti-D immunoglobulin to prevent Rh(D) alloimmunization during pregnancy is quite safe. Although drug induced immune hemolytic anemia have been described during pregnancy, hemolytic anemia was not described as adverse event of Anti-D immunoglobulin administered as a prophylaxis for Rh(D) negative pregnant women. Herein we present an unusual case of warm type autoimmune hemolytic anemia induced by Anti-D immunoglobulin in O Rho(D) negative pregnant women.

Keywords:AIHA (Autoimmune hemolytic anemia); Anti-D; Pregnancy
