- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 49-year-old man who presented with a 3-day history of increased lethargy, jaundice and oedema and undiagnosed ulcerative colitis. Blood film revealed autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and ulcerative colitis was diagnosed endoscopically following computed tomography. A reducing course of prednisolone and maximal oral mesalazine were given which resulted in gradual improvement of the anaemia and normalization of bowel frequency.
