Autoimmune pancreatitis with concomitant autoimmune haemolytic anaemia

Abstract

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an infrequent cause of acute pancreatitis, being more commonly associated with chronic pancreatitis. AIP can be associated with other autoimmune manifestations, including Sjögren's, inflammatory bowel disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism and sarcoidosis. Rarely, concurrent autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is observed, as seen in our case report of a 33-year-old postpartum woman.
