The role of interferons in the treatment of hematologic malignancies.

abstract：:An immune hemolytic anemia occurs in a few patients in whom the concentration of antibody on the red cell is below the level for detection by the usual antiglobulin test. Clinically, these patients are identical to patients with warm type Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia, except for the quantity of antibody on the cel...
