Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hematology
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Coombs positive anemia is a rare autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
  • The co-occurrence of these conditions presents a unique clinical challenge.

Purpose:

  • To report on two cases of Coombs positive anemia in patients with ulcerative colitis.
  • To discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of this rare complication.
  • To review existing literature on the simultaneous occurrence of these diseases.

Summary:

  • Two out of 215 patients with ulcerative colitis developed Coombs positive anemia.
  • Clinical manifestations of hemolysis were observed in one patient.
  • Effective treatment involved steroid therapy alone in one case and combined steroid and azathioprine therapy in the other.

Impact:

  • Highlights the importance of monitoring for hematological complications in ulcerative colitis patients.
  • Provides insights into therapeutic strategies for managing Coombs positive anemia in this context.
  • Contributes to the understanding of the complex interplay between inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune disorders.
