Abstract
A young man developed infectious mononucleosis complicated by profound anaemia due to haemolysis. The Donath Landsteiner antibody was found in his serum. He was treated successfully by blood transfusion but sub sequently developed severe neutropenia. Both complications have been r eported previously but not in the same individual. No underlying immun e deficiency could be identified.
