AB This  type  of  anemia  is  caused  by  autoantibodies  that  bind  red  cells  best  at  temperatures  below  37°C,  usually  below  31°C.It  is  mediated  through  two  major  types  of  “cold  antibody”:  cold  agglutinins  and  Donath-Landsteiner  antibodies.Clinical  features  vary  considerably,  but  in  both  types,  the  complement  system  plays  a  major  role  in  red  cell  destruction.
