Use of subcutaneous deferoxamine in a child with hemochromatosis associated with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, type I

W A Smithson et al. Mayo Clin Proc. 1982 May.

Abstract

A 12-year-old girl with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, type I, was diagnosed as having hemochromatosis. Deferoxamine was given subcutaneously for 14 months. Iron overload, as measured by liver iron and serum ferritin levels, was reduced substantially, liver function tests improved, and hepatomegaly decreased. Toxicity was negligible.
