Abstract EN
Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) requires an aggressive approach since primary thrombotic microangiopathy syndromes such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) can progress rapidly to a fatal outcome.
Differential diagnosis can be challenging even for an experienced hematologist.
We present a case of a 52-year-old male who presented with symptoms of mesenteric panniculitis and showed signs of MAHA.
His condition was attributed to severe vitamin B12 deficiency secondary to chronic atrophic gastritis and initiation of appropriate therapy was met with complete resolution of symptoms and normalization of hematologic parameters.
