Abstract
Two patients with fibrosing alveolitis and autoimmune haemolytic anaemia are described. One patient also had neurofibromatosis. The haematological associations of fibrosing alveolitis are discussed, and a possible relationship between autoimmune haemolysis and fibrosing alveolitis is suggested.
