We report the case of a 72-year-old woman who developed fatal immune hemolytic anemia with multisystem organ failure and shock caused by diclofenac-dependent red blood cell autoantibodies. The patient described dramatically illustrates the potential severity of this adverse reaction and emphasizes the need for increased awareness of this complication of drug therapy.
