A rare case of infant autoimmune enteropathy presented with sideroblastic anemia and vasculitis. Despite intensive treatment, the infant succumbed to overwhelming sepsis, highlighting the severe potential of this condition.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Gastroenterology
Hematology
Immunology

Background:

Autoimmune enteropathy is a rare condition causing severe protracted diarrhea in infants.
Sideroblastic anemia can be associated with chronic inflammation and autoimmune disorders.

Observation:

A case report details an infant with unexplained sideroblastic anemia and severe diarrhea due to autoimmune gut disease.
The infant developed systemic vasculitis despite exclusion diet and immunosuppressive therapy.

Findings:

Plasmapheresis led to the resolution of the systemic vasculitic illness.
The infant ultimately died from overwhelming sepsis following treatment for vasculitis.

Implications:

This case underscores the severe systemic complications that can arise from pediatric autoimmune enteropathy.
