We describe a case of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) due to anti-N in a young male patient with cellulitis. There have been several reports of anti-N in N positive individuals. But in all these reports, auto anti-N was mostly associated with underlying immunological conditions. We report here a case of auto anti-N in a patient of bacterial sepsis without any underlying immune disorder.
