We report an episode of Coombs’-positive hemolytic anemia in a previously healthy young man with miliary tuberculosis, resulting in a hemoglobin level of 5 g/dL and an undetectable haptoglobin level. The patient responded well to treatment with antituberculosis drugs, and the results of the direct Coombs’ test became negative without the need of blood transfusion or steroid therapy. ? 2001 American College of Chest Physicians.[SDGs]SDG3ethambutol; haptoglobin; hemoglobin; isoniazid; pyrazinamide; rifampicin; steroid; tuberculostatic agent; adult; article; autoimmune hemolytic anemia; blood chemistry; blood examination; blood transfusion; case report; clinical feature; Coombs test; diagnostic procedure; disease association; drug effect; hemoglobin determination; human; liver function test; male; miliary tuberculosis; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; priority journal; treatment outcomejournal article10.1378/chest.119.6.1961113997342-s2.0-0034881215
