Anti-Pr antibody induced cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia following pneumococcal vaccination

Clin Case Rep. 2019 Aug 9;7(9):1763-1765. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.2365. eCollection 2019 Sep.

Abstract

While rare, vaccination-induced autoantibodies can occur outside of the pediatric population. This diagnosis should be considered after infectious and lymphoproliferative disorders are ruled out. Clinical management will depend on the individual case, but all patients should be monitored closely.

Keywords: IgM; anti‐Pr antibody; autoantibody; cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia; pneumococcal vaccination.
