Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

[Sue Jeffrey]

Does anyone know some viruses that can cause an autoimmune hemolytic
anemia, could also effect WBC's and platelets - a simple list would be
great. The reason I am curious is there seems to be a marked increase in
autoimmune hemolytic anemia in dogs on a dog-related list I belong to. I
was beginning to wonder if there is possibly a small epidemic of a virus or
other infectious agent going on, anyone have any suggestions?
