Autoimmune haemolytic anaemias: A retrospective study of 93 patients.

DISCUSSION: We found high rates of response to steroids, with very prolonged treatments that cause side effects and corticoid dependence in a third of patients. The combination of steroids with rituximab in the first line, could be indicated in patients with low levels of haemoglobin and serological type IgG+C. The high relapse rates make necessary the development of randomised studies with new drugs or the combination with existing ones, which allow longer response times and with fewer side effects.
