Celiac disease associated with aplastic anemia in a 6-year-old girl: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Celiac disease may present with hematological abnormalities including long-standing anemia. Both aplastic anemia and celiac disease have a similar underlying autoimmune process but an association between the two is seldom reported. There have only been three pediatric cases reporting this association and this case is the first reported in a female pediatric patient.
