Abstract
Acquired haemolytic anaemia has been studied during a 5‐year period in one of Sweden's health care regions. Altogether 161 patients were found, corresponding to an overall incidence of 3 (2.6) patients per 100 000 and year. Women predominate (63%), especially in the age groups 15–34 years, in which 37% of the female patients with acquired haemolytic anaemia were or had recently been pregnant. Mechanical factors are discussed as a possible cause of haemolysis occurring during or immediately after pregnancy.Keywords
