Long-term follow-up of patients with iron deficiency anaemia after a negative gastrointestinal evaluation

High prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia among adolescent girls is a matter of great concern because of double demand of growth and activity. Therefore, the present study was conducted among 200 unmarried adolescent girls(10-18 yrs) with an objective to assess the prevalence of anemia and to improve the dietary behavior and reduce iron deficiency anaemia through nutrition intervention. The effectiveness of nutrition intervention was evaluated through various parameters viz. Body Mass Index (BMI), haemoglobin (Hb) level, food frequency and knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) scores. Nutrition intervention was imparted to the subjects for a period of one year. Consequently, the average Hb level of the subjects increased significantly (p£0.01) from 8.55 to 10.66 g/dl. A significant (p£0.01) increase in BMI i.e. 17.7 to18.8 Kg/m2 was also found in the selected subjects. Further, Nutrition education also showed a significant improvement (p £0.01) in the food frequency of the entire Hb forming food items as well as KAP scores among adolescent girls.

This study deals with haemoglobin (Hb) measurements of healthy 1-year-old children in one district in central Norway. The aim was to study the Hb levels, to treat any children having iron deficiency anaemia (Hb ⩽ 10.8 g/100 ml), and to evaluate the effect of sodium iron edetate after 4 weeks of treatment, with a follow-up after 1 year. A total of 141 children were examined, of whom 40 had Hb ⩽ 10.8 g/ 100 ml (28.4%). The study showed that the Hb levels in healthy 1-years-olds have a normal distribution. Thirty-four children with Hb ⩽ 10.8 g/100 ml were treated for 4 weeks with sodium iron edetate (six drop-outs). The study showed a significant increase in Hb levels immediately after the treatment period as well as 4 weeks later. Hb decreases significantly immediately after ceasing treatment and continues to do so during the control period of 1 year. The Hb levels probably increase to a maximum 2 weeks after the treatment period.

Benign Nature

Fungiform papillae are red/pink, mushroom shaped projections located on the tip and dorsolateral part of tongue. It harbours several taste buds. Pigmented fungiform papillae is a not so common benign condition which involves pigment deposition in fungiform papillae. Authors report a case of 35 years female who presented with history of blackish spots over tongue for past 10 years with no other associated symptom. Patient had conjunctival pallor (moderate) and rest of the examination was normal. Investigations showed iron deficiency anaemia with Hb. of 9.5 mg/dl. A clinical diagnosis of Pigmented Fungiform Papillae (PFP) with associated Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA) was made. Patient was explained in detail about the benign nature of disease and was put on oral iron therapy. Follow up after 2 months was advised.

Deficiency Anaemia

This report describes the case of a 36-year-old woman, gravida 3, para 2, at 11 weeks' gestation, who received a ferric carboxymaltose infusion for iron deficiency anaemia after medical management of a miscarriage. The following morning, light brown skin staining was noted at the infusion site, and the staining was present 2 months later at follow-up. Skin staining following intravenous iron infusion is a rare but important side effect. The skin staining is potentially permanent but may fade in time. Such an adverse effect may have cosmetic consequences for the patient.
