Abstract
Microangiopathic Haemolytic Anaemia (MAHA) is a descriptive term for the presence of fragmentation of red cells (schistocytes) which can be demonstrated on a blood film [1]. It occurs when endothelial damage and/or fibrin deposition damages red cells. The presence of this associated with a thrombocytopenia is an emergency as the known differential includes DIC, TTP, HUS, Malignancy, and HELLP all of which can ultimately end life [2]. Since Covid19 pandemic we report another case in this differential that resolves with conservative management.
