[Hemolytic autoimmune anemia and perinatal HIV infection. A case report and brief review].
The hematological disorders are frequent in HIV infection; however the hemolytic anemia is a rare complication in pediatric patients. At this moment exist less than ten cases reported in medical literature. The authors reported a four month old girl with perinatal docu-mented infection by HIV associated to autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and they propose a critic route for diagnosis and initial treatment.
