Abstract

   Children with oncohematological and immunological diseases are at high risk of developing complications, one of which is bleeding at various sites. Special mention needs to be made regarding gastrointestinal bleedings, including rare ones, with large volumes and high rates of blood loss, which significantly increases the overall mortality. This article presents a clinical case of massive GI bleeding from an arterio-intestinal fistula in a patient with AML. We describe clinical search for the source of bleeding, as well as the methods for its elimination. Also, we provide graphic images and descriptions of laboratory and instrumental examinations. The patient's parents gave consent to the use of their child's data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications.
