Résumé
Celiac disease is an immune-mediated process against gluten, resulting in inflammation and villous atrophy of the duodenum. Symptoms of malabsorption characterize the classic presentation; however, abdominal pain, constipation, and nutritional deficiencies can also be seen. We present a case of a 4-year-old boy who was found to have celiac disease after presenting with diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and new-onset pancytopenia. Symptoms resolved, and laboratory values normalized after the initiation of a gluten-free diet, indicating the bone marrow suppression was due to celiac disease, which needs to be considered when hematologic abnormalities are present, even in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms.
