. A child with an immune‐mediated disease is described, who presented two very rare clinical manifestations, a membranous glomerulopathy with circulating anti‐renal tubular basement membrane antibody and a small‐intestinal enteropathy with circulating antibody directed against the cytoplasm of intestinal epithelial cells. Steroid treatment was followed by complete resolution of the renal but not the intestinal manifestations.
