Crohn's Disease Presenting With Severe Pancytopenia and Anemia: a Diagnostic Challenge

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Background: While anemia is a frequent complication of Crohn’s Disease (CD) due to chronic blood loss and malabsorption, the initial presentation of severe, non-iatrogenic pancytopenia is exceptionally rare. Furthermore, differentiating CD from Intestinal Tuberculosis (ITB) in endemic regions poses a significant diagnostic challenge due to overlapping clinical and endoscopic features.
