Anemia: monosymptomatic celiac disease. A report of 3 cases.

Patients with monosymptomatic celiac disease (CD) can escape diagnosis for a long period. Anemia is a common finding in CD, although anemia as the sole symptom is relatively unknown. We report on three patients who presented with iron deficiency anemia and no other symptom, in whom CD was considered and diagnosed several to many years after the anemia was documented.
