A patient with primary biliary cirrhosis associated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
Primary biliary cirrhosis is often associated with autoimmune conditions, such as thyroid disease, sicca complex, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, an association with autoimmune hemolytic anemia has rarely been reported. We present a case of primary biliary cirrhosis associated with warm type autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and we review prior reports.
