Publication Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Associated with Mixed-Type Autoimmune Hemolytic Anaemia and Vitamin B 12 Deficiency - A Case Report Authors(Perinatal Society of Nepal (PESON), 2024) Yadav, Dipa; Yadav, Avinash; Bhandari, Sushmita; Singh, Umesh KumarAbstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic complex autoimmune disease. It generally presents with a wide spectrum of hematological and immunological abnormalities involving multiple systems. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare, acquired condition where the lifespan of red blood cells is shortened and very rarely associated with SLE. We report a 13 years old girl who presented to our emergency department with complaints of intermittent fever, generalized weakness, dizziness and rashes over the trunk and abdomen for three days. On examination, she was clinically stable and investigations revealed severe anemia, and deficiency of Vit –B12 along with SLE and Mixed AIHA. Chronic complex autoimmune diseases like SLE can rarely present as severe anemia with mixed AIHA and Vit B12 deficiency.
