Summary. The authors describe a case of macrocytic hyperchromic anemia in celiac disease in a girl of 8 1/2 years who, five years earlier, presented a clinical picture typical of celiac disease combined with anemia. A likely cause of the disease picture in this case is a paratyphoid infection incurred in early infancy (the first half of the second month). This paratyphoid fever (Breslau) was of long duration with positive bacillus findings in the feces for six months.
