This report describes the laboratory findings and clinical course of a patient with thrombophlebitis, venous gangrene, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Three concomitant red cell autoantibody activities were detected: a low‐titer, high‐thermal‐amplitude, IgM anti‐I cold agglutinin; an IgG warm ‘incomplete’ panagglutinating autoantibody; and an IgM warm hemolysin.
