ABSTRACT
Mixed-type autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a term used to describe hemolysis occurring in the context of both warm and cold reactive autoantibodies to red blood cells. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired form of thrombocytopenia potentially complicated by hemorrhage due to autoantibodies reactive with platelets and megakaryocytes. Diagnosis of ITP requires exclusion of other known causes of thrombocytopenia. AIHA and ITP may be primary disorders or associated with lymphoproliferative, autoimmune, or viral infections. Here, we report a rare case of simultaneous mixed-type autoimmune hemolytic anemia with immune thrombocytopenia following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection treated with Paxlovid followed by Rhinovirus infection.
