Abstract
Wilson disease (WD) is a disorder of copper metabolism. Liver and brain disorders are the main presentations, hemolytic anemia in WD is a rare inaugural symptom. We report a case of a child who developed recurrent hemolytic anemia associated with liver failure in the second hemolysis episode as the first manifestation of WD.
Wilson's disease is not exceptional in children with hemolytic anemia, but another differential diagnosis must be excluded.
