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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Houda Romdhane,Linda Khefacha,Rihem Mezrigui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 6202713356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786202713351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Our Knowledge Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Houda Romdhane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446451548415,"sku":"9786202713351","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c47b165b-6a97-4949-9f50-a7d3b3bf1497.jpg?v=1777224728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autoimmune-hemolytic-anemias-in-children-houda-romdhane-9786202713351","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
