the red blood cell causing shortened erythrocyte survival4. The estimated incidence of AIHA is of 1 to 3 cases in 1,00,000
persons per year.4 The identification and classification of AIHA cases can be done carefully. The most confirmatory test of
AIHA is positive Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT). The treatment option of AIHA is still unclear. Corticosteroids is the first
line treatment for AIHA and Rituximab is the second line treatment option for AIHA patients1. Splenectomy is the
procedure done for refractory or relapsed case patients and only 20 % of the patients is cured1. Bicytopenia is the rare
condition occurred in the patients where the restriction of two lines (RBC, WBC and platelet) 4. The treatment option for
bicytopenia is not still evidence based. Bone marrow aspiration is performed for malignancy or non-malignancy, in case of
severe anemia blood transfusion is performed and also treated with multivitamins4.Early diagnosis of AIHA with
bicytopenia can be done through routine supervision of Complete Blood Count of anemia patients and anemia patients who
underwent blood transfusion during previous years help to identify the prediction of autoimmune disorders1.A 22 year old
female patient was admitted in the hospital with chief complaints of severe anemia , fatigue , knee pain and loose stools.
Due to her low hemoglobin level (3.9 mg/dl) at the age of 14, she had Previously undergone blood transfusions. On
examination, she had mild splenomegaly, Pallor ++. Routine monitoring of the hemoglobin, total WBC count, ESR, and
platelet count was carried out during hospitalization. A bone marrow aspiration was performed to look for malignancy, but
the results were negative. Bicytopenia was identified after a peripheral smear test on RBC, WBC, and platelets revealed,
reduced RBC and WBC1.We report here a case of AIHA in a patient with bicytopenia which was detected in our blood
