Possible role of IL-23 inhibitor in autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Rituximab and prednisone are commonly used treatments for autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), where the body's immune system attacks and destroys its red blood cells. However, some AIHA patients may become refractory to rituximab treatment, and this can result in continued hemolysis and persistent anemia, making it challenging for affected individuals to manage their symptoms. The underlying causes of rituximab refractoriness in AIHA patients can be complex and vary from patient to patient. Herein, we present a case of newly diagnosed warm and cold AIHA that remained in remission with an interleukin-23 inhibitor.
