Abstract

M Pneumoniae infection commonly presents with respiratory involvement. Extra pulmonary involvement is uncommon presentation. The case describes M Pneumoniae infection presenting as hemolytic anemia which on work up turned out to be cold agglutinin disease. The rare presentation of M Pneumoniae infection without pulmonary involvement makes the case report interesting .It is therefore prudent to rule out M Pneumoniae infection in patients with unexplained hemolytic anemia or having cold agglutinin disease
