Sažetak
Allergic proctocolitis in the neonatal period has rarely been reported in twins. We report on a case of an allergic proctocolitis to cow’s milk in dizygotic twin neonates during the early neonatal period. Full-term dizygotic twins presented with rectal bleeding and severe anemia. Investigation supported diagnosis of cow’s milk protein allergy and they responded positively to the elimination of offending antigen. Allergic colitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any newborn with rectal bleeding after the exclusion of infectious and anatomic disorders common in this age group.
