Abstract
A 13-year old girl presented with a decade long anemia, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and
interstistial lung disease; was eventually diagnosed as ANCA associated vasculitis. High
index of suspicion is thus warranted for alternative diagnosis in chronic anemia, despite
increased prevalence of infectious diseases and nutritional anemia.
