  • Title: [Hypochromic anemia and small bowel diverticula].
    Author: Pras P, Bertrand F, Diez KL, Bayada JM, Babeau P, Coussement A.
    Journal: Sem Hop; 1984 Mar 01; 60(10):669-72. PubMed ID: 6322312.
    Abstract:
    The authors appreciate the possible responsibility of small intestine diverticulosis in three patients with iron deficiency anemia. In the first case, anemia was associated with colo-duodenal fistula. In the second and third cases, because of the negativity of gastric and large bowel investigations, a barium opacification was done, which showed diverticulosis. This was considered as probably responsible for the anemia. After a review of the literature, the authors conclude that small intestine diverticulosis may lead to iron deficiency anemia through chronic blood loss.
