Diagnosis

The diagnosis is made upon blood tests to confirm not only hemolytic anemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, but also a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) and an absence of any known underlying etiology.

Other antibodies may occur directed against neutrophils and lymphocytes, and "immunopancytopenia" has been suggested as a better term for this syndrome.
