Direct Coombs test diseases autoimmune hemolytic anemia reference
In Aparup Shastri Microbiology, a direct Coombs test is classically used in hemolytic disease of the newborn (erythroblastosis fetalis), particularly due to Rh incompatibility.
It detects maternal IgG antibodies already bound to the newborn's red blood cells.
It is also positive in autoimmune hemolytic anemia and hemolytic transfusion reactions, but for microbiology exam context, the expected answer is usually hemolytic disease of the newborn.

It varies by edition. In the older Sastry edition indexed by Jaypee, it is in Chapter 12: Antigen-Antibody Reactions, under Coombs test / Fig. 12.13. I cannot confirm the exact printed page reliably from the available preview.
The 2018 edition has changed pagination, so please tell me the edition/year or send a contents-page photo and I can give the exact page.
