To describe the clinical characteristics of patients with autoimmune hemolytic
anemia in a private clinic in the city of Medellin. Materials and methods: Retrospective
descriptive study of seven cases of AHA that were treated at private clinic in the city
of Medellin (Colombia) between 2005 and 2010. The information was taken from the
patients’ clinical history. Results: 6 of the 7 cases were women, the median age was
47 years (minimum 21 and maximum 74). The most frequent concomitant diseases
were SLE and infectious with 3 cases each one. The therapy is based primarily on the
use of glucocorticoids with 4 cases found and never resorted to biological therapy. Two
patients required change of its treatment. Conclusion: This study shows the clinical
and demographic findings of a small number of adult cases with AHA. National studies
are needed greater geographic coverage to help establish the true incidence of this
disease and describe the main clinical and epidemiological characteristics.
