PLATA-GARCIA, Clara; ARJONA, Juan Sebastián  and  SEBA, Juan Enrique. Herbst Triad: A rare clinical manifestation of a common pathology. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.3, pp.372-376.  Epub Mar 01, 2021. ISSN 0120-9957.  https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.368.

The Herbst triad is a rare manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease and other esophageal pathologies. It is characterized by the presence of anemia, digital clubbing, and protein-losing enteropathy. Since evidence on this condition is anecdotal, the available information is mostly derived from case reports and its physiopathology remains unclear. The following is the case of a schoolchild, whose symptoms were reversed once she underwent surgery.

Keywords : Gastroesophageal reflux; Hypoproteinemia; Protein-losing enteropathies; Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy; Iron deficiency anemia.
