Popis: The paper shows the case of a 4-year-old boy treated ineffectively with anaemia caused by iron deficiency. After 6 months of treatment with oral iron medical preparation a sustainable anaemia and significant iron decrease was found out. Thorough differential diagnosis lead to the recognition of coeliac disease as a main cause of the chronic anaemia and the failure in iron supplementation. Following the applied gluten-free diet with simultaneous further therapy with iron preparations, a progressive recovery of the child's health was achieved, normalisation of laboratory test results and further normal physical and psychomotor development of the boy.
