These include ulcerative colitis (UC), where the inflammatory process involves only the intestinal mucosa, and Crohn\u2019s disease (CD), where it can involve the entire wall of the GI in all of its sections. In addition to typical gastrointestinal complaints, IBD manifests with a range of extraintestinal symptoms involving inter alia the eyes, joints, skin, liver and biliary tract. These can cause a number of extraintestinal complications; of these, one of the most common is anaemia, usually resulting from nutritional deficiencies, especially iron, or chronic inflammation. When treating patients with IBD, it is important to consider the possibility of rare but serious complications, including autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA). This condition occurs in only 0.2 to 1.7% of UC cases and is even rarer in CD. AIHA is usually mild but can occur suddenly and cause very rapid anaemia. In the article presented here, we describe the case of a patient who developed AIHA two years after a diagnosis of CD, causing a life-threatening diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the medical team.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10101698","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,17]],"date-time":"2023-10-17T08:08:33Z","timestamp":1697530113000},"page":"1698","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Autoimmune Haemolytic Anaemia as a Rare and Potentially Serious Complication of Crohn\u2019s Disease in a 11-Year-Old Child\u2014Case Report and Minireview"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3530-6707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Dybowska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, Allergology and Gastroenterology, Ludwik Rydygier Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University, 85-067 Torun, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aneta","family":"Krogulska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, Allergology and Gastroenterology, Ludwik Rydygier Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University, 85-067 Torun, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bianco, C., Coluccio, E., Prati, D., and Valenti, L.
