title: A fatal case of low titer anti-PR cold agglutinin disease.
abstract: Cold agglutinin disease typically produces a low-grade hemolytic anemia. We describe herein the unusual occurrence of an anti-PR cold agglutinin with high thermal amplitude which caused significant and ultimately fatal hemolytic anemia at very low titers.
