RESUMO
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that affects different organs, causing multiple complications, including hematological sequelae. One of the most common TB-hematological complications is anemia of chronic disease. Very rarely autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has been reported as an uncommon manifestation of TB. In this case, we present a female who presented with refractory AIHA, which was attributed to disseminated TB. The patient responded well to steroids, anti-TB medications, and rituximab.
