“…While Mycoplasma species are frequently associated with CAS, there is a lower association with Legionella . There are only five case reports published at the time of this submission of an AIHA associated with Legionella , and only one published associated with cold agglutinin [ 6 - 8 ]. This raises the possibility of underdiagnosis of AIHA secondary to Legionella .…”

Cold agglutinin syndrome (CAS) is a rare subset of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and can be classified as either primary or secondary. Secondary cold agglutinin disease has been associated with both viral and bacterial pathogens with the most common bacterial pathogen being Mycoplasma pneumoniae . Legionella pneumonia is a well-known causative agent for community-acquired pneumonia that can lead to a severe disease requiring hospitalization that is rarely associated with AIHA. We highlight the importance of recognizing Legionella pneumonia as a causative pathogen for CAS.
