Its clinical presentations do not usually include anemia. We wish to describe herein a patient with MCTD who illustrates two relatively unique features. Severe hemolytic anemia as a presenting sign of MCTD with an immediate and dramatic response to intravenous immunoglobulins, following unresponsiveness to steroid therapy.
