• The immunoglobulin levels in the sera of 88 adult patients with autoimmune hæmolytic anæmia were measured. Approximately half the patients whose anæmia was thought to be " idiopathic" had low levels of one or more classes of immunoglobulin. The same was true of those patients in whom the anæmia was associated with lymphoproliferative and autoimmune disorders. IgA was the immunoglobulin most frequently affected, but thirteen different combinations of immunoglobulin deficiency or excess were found. In contrast, the immunoglobulin levels in patients with methyldopa-induced hæmolyric anæmia were normal.
