[Report of a case of celiac disease associated with transient erythroblastopenia in pediatric age].
Authors reports a rare case of association between two pathologies that, even if apparently very different, are both immunologically determined: celiac disease (CD) and transient erythroblastopenia of childhood (TEC). Such an association may be less rare commonly thought and this may be true for other autoimmune diseases, too. Clinical and pathological observations, together with etio-pathogenetic hypotheses, are discussed.
