Abstract
Primary biliary cirrhosis is often associated with autoimmune conditions, s uch as thyroid disease, sicca complex, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, a n association with autoimmune hemolytic anemia has rarely been reported. We present a case of primary biliary cirrhosis associated with warm type auto immune hemolytic anemia, and we review prior reports.
