Anemia hemolítica autoinmune como forma de presentación de enfermedad inflamatoria del intestino
Abstract
Las anemias hemolíticas autoinmunes son las caracterizadas por la destrucción de los hematíes debida a la producción de autoanticuerpos por el paciente, dirigidos contra sus propios antígenos eritrocitarios. La asociación con enfermedad inflamatoria del intestino está descrita, pero no es de las asociaciones más frecuentes. Se presenta un caso de una paciente de 64 años de edad, que acude por diarreas y decaimiento, aparecen evolutivamente durante su ingreso lesiones ulceradas orales y perianales. Los exámenes complementarios mostraron una anemia hemolítica Coombs positiva. Los estudios endoscópicos del tubo digestivo, mostraron ulceración continua de todo el colon desde el ciego hasta el ano y pérdida de las austras, imagenológicamente se hizo evidente el aumento de tamaño del bazo en el curso de la hemólisis. Recibió tratamiento con esteroides y mesalazina por vía oral, desaparecieron las manifestaciones de hemólisis extravascular y mejoró la sintomatología digestiva. Se concluyó histológicamente como una enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal tipo colitis ulcerosa.Downloads
