Discerning the type of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is crucial for transfusion support and initiation of treatment. This study aimed to establish the clinical profile and serological character of red cell autoantibodies and to investigate the relationship with haemolysis in AIHA patients who were direct antiglobulin test (DAT)-positive. A total of 59 DAT-positive AIHA patients were included in this study. Clinical, laboratory and serological findings were evaluated to find the gradation of haemolysis and to investigate its correlation with age, sex, type of autoantibody and level of autoantibody. Study findings revealed that most patients (89.8%) had haemolysis, wherein moderate haemolysis (67.8%) was predominant. Weakness, palpitations, fever, pallor, tachycardia and splenomegaly were common among patients with severe and moderate haemolysis. The majority (66.1%) had an associated disorder. Warm autoantibody was the most common, followed by cold and mixed cases. The severity of haemolysis correlated strongly with the strength of the DAT reaction (Cramer V 0.636, p<0.001). These findings may be useful to clinicians while determining a treatment plan. The direct relationship between severity of haemolysis and strength of DAT needs further exploration in a large population to establish whether it can be used as a tool to formulate a treatment plan when assessing AIHA patients in low resourced countries.
