Abstract

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a member of Beta coronaviruses that became pandemic by March of 2020. The hematological manifestations related to COVID-19 are mostly lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, elevated D-dimer, and ferritin levels. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) associated with COVID-19 has been described rarely; however, to our knowledge, complement-mediated autoimmune hemolytic anemia (CM-AIHA) has not been reported in children. Here, we report a child with COVID-19 associated with CM-AIHA.
