Abstract

Out of the 215 regularly controlled patients Coombs positive anaemia developed in two during the course of ulcerative colitis. Hemolysis was manifested clinically only in one of the two cases. Steroid therapy was effective in the first and combined with azathioprine in the second case. Their experiences with the simultaneous appearance of these diseases are being discussed on the bases of previous data.
