title: [Autoimmune hemolytic anemia and chronic giant cell hepatitis].
abstract: The authors describe a case report of a six months old boy with autoimmune hemolytic anemia and giant cell hepatitis. This is a very rare syndrome in infancy. After eleven months of intensive immunosuppressive treatment (glucocorticoids, cyclosporin A, azathioprin, intravenous immunoglobulins, cyclophosphamid) no improvement of hemolysis was observed and therefore splenectomy was indicated. 1 year after the treatment was finished the patient is in good general condition and his hematologic and biochemical parameters are physiological.
