This document discusses different types of immune hemolytic anemias. It classifies them into three categories: 1) autoimmune hemolytic anemia which can be warm antibody type or cold antibody type, 2) alloimmune hemolytic anemia such as hemolytic disease of the newborn or hemolytic transfusion reaction, and 3) drug-induced hemolytic anemia. Warm antibody type autoimmune hemolytic anemia mainly affects older individuals and results in red blood cells coated with IgG being phagocytosed in the spleen. Cold agglutinin disease is characterized by cyanosis in the extremities due to cold agglutinins causing red blood cell agglutination with exposure to cold temperatures.
