Background And Aim: Megaloblastic anemia (MA) is a rare pathology in childhood due, in the majority of cases, to a deficiency of folic acid and/or vitamin B12 (cobalamin). This study aims to determine the epidemiological, clinical, and paraclinical profiles of MA in children and to specify its etiologies, therapeutic modalities, and treatment responses.
Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study of MA cases in children carried out in the General Pediatrics Department of the Hedi Chaker University Hospital of Sfax over a period of 42 years, from January 1979 to December 2021.

Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 3 (APS-3) is an uncommon condition marked by autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) linked with other autoimmune issues, excluding Addison's disease. We report a case of a 41-year-old man who was hospitalized due to exhaustion and macrocytic anemia, later diagnosed with APS-3, which included Hashimoto's thyroiditis, pernicious anemia resulting from autoimmune gastritis, and pre-existing vitiligo. Diagnostic results indicated positive intrinsic factor antibodies, a gastric biopsy compatible with gastritis, elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies, and significant findings from a thyroid ultrasound.
