title: Auto-immune haemolytic anaemia in childhood: follow-up in 29 cases.
abstract: We describe 29 children with auto-immune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA). The patients could be followed up for long periods of time. The auto-antibodies, responsible for the AIHA, are described as well as the associated diseases that could be diagnosed, the clinical course and some clinical aspects of special importance. Finally, the treatment given to these patients and its results are discussed.
