When the hard to find anemia is in advance stages,

It causes the production of white blood cells to skyrocket,

butyl ether

Ask the doctor/s whether gamma globulin would help?

Coomb's test is not reliable for finding AIHA or IMHA
Can give a false positive or a false negative:

COOMB’S TEST (ALSO CALLED A “DIRECT ANTIBODY TEST”)

"This is a test designed to identify antibodies coating red blood cell surfaces.  This test is the current state of the art for the diagnosis of IMHA but, unfortunately, it is not as helpful as it might seem.  It can be erroneously positive in the presence of inflammation or infectious disease (which might lead to harmless attachment of antibody to red cell surfaces) or in the event of prior blood transfusion (ultimately transfused red cells are removed from the immune system). The Coomb’s test can be erroneously negative for a number of reasons as well. If the clinical picture fits with IMHA, often the Coomb’s test is skipped."
