  • Title: [Iron-deficiency and replacement in infancy].
    Author: Schuler D, Kis E, Velkey L, Velkey I, Németh K, Mann V.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd; 1982 Aug; 130(8):605-7. PubMed ID: 7133014.
    Abstract:
    The frequency of iron-deficiency anaemia was investigated in 376 children with the aid of serum ferritin determinations. The children, resident in Budapest or Miskolc were 6 months to 3 years old. Marked iron-deficiency (serum ferritin less than 10 micrograms/l) could be demonstrated in 33.8% of the investigated population. The frequency of iron-deficiency was related to the socio-economic and cultural status of the mother, a factor which is thought to influence the feeding habits. In areas where iron-deficiency is frequently detected regular iron-prophylaxis is recommended.
