Reisner and Kalkstein1 in 1942 found in the literature 54 case histories of patients with anemia whose bloods showed autohemagglutination. They reported an additional case of hemolytic anemia with autohemagglutinins. Wiener,2 Baar,3 Kracke and Hoffman,4 Evans,5 and Rennert and McShane,6 have reported cases of hemolytic anemia associated with autohemagglutinins active at 37° C.Callender and Paykoc7recently studied the sera of 100 patients who had been transfused with a total of 958 pints of whole blood. Two patients with hemolytic anemia, one...Bibliography1. REISNERKALKSTEIN EHM: Auto hemolysinic anemia with auto agglutination: improvement after splenectomy, Am. Jr. Med. Sci., 1942, cciii, 313-322.
