Livedo reticular associado com Anemia Hemolítica Autoimune: remiss?o prolongada induzida pelo Transplante de Células-Tronco do Sangue Periférico com recaída após 10 anos e restaura??o dos níveis de hemoglobina por rituximabeDOI: 10.1590/S0482-50042012000100013 Keywords: cell transplantation, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, livedo reticularis. Abstract: autoimmune hemolytic anemia (aiha) is a disease where patients produce antibodies against erythrocytes directed towards membrane glycoproteins adsorbed onto the erythrocyte surface. drugs and other associations have been implicated. it is described and discussed a case of livedo reticularis associated with aiha treated with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (pbsct) that went into full remission for 10 years. after that period the patient relapsed and was treated with antibody anti-cd20, rituximab, and is now in full remission. the role of pbsct and rituximab in the treatment of aiha will be discussed
