Abstract :
The pathogenesis of antibody directed against erythrocytes induction is unknown, in autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AHA). Connective tissue disorders, lymphoproliferative disorders, neoplasms, chronic inflammatory diseases, drugs, and infections are considered as etiologic factors. We presented a child who developed AHA with concomitant presence of rotavirus infection and paracetamol use. She had no side effect of paracetamol in history. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of AHA caused by paracetamol used in child who infected with rotavirus.
