I plan on introducing a resolution designating March 25, 2026, as Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) Awareness Day in Pennsylvania. AIHA is a rare condition that happens when a person’s immune system attacks their red blood cells by mistake. Autoimmune diseases, cancer and infections can trigger AIHA. But it can also happen for no reason.  

 

Complications from Autoimmune hemolytic anemia include serious infections like pneumonia and heart disease. However, there is no cure for AIHA.
