Epidemiological, clinical, biological and therapeutic data were analyzed using SPSS software. A total of 17 patients were included (10 girls and 7 boys), with an average age of three years. The most frequent etiologies identified were visceral leishmaniasis (5 cases) and β-thalassemia major (4 cases). In addition to transfusions, corticosteroid therapy was administered to 10 of the 17 patients, with cure observed in 4 cases (23.5%). Although viral infections are generally considered to be the main causes of these anemias, our study revealed a predominance of visceral leishmaniasis, an etiology rarely mentioned in the literature. Autoimmune hemolytic anemias remain rare pathologies, often associated with a poor prognosis. A thorough etiological investigation and complete immunohematological workup are essential to optimize therapeutic management.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46377515909271,"sku":"9786202713351","price":5545.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786202713351.webp?v=1768761243","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/autoimmune-hemolytic-anemias-in-children-9786202713351","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
