Intestinal iron absorption under the influence of available storage iron and erythroblastic hyperplasia. Comparative studies in children with hereditary spherocytosis, nonspherocytic enzymopenic hemolytic anemia, acquired hemolytic anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency induced megaloblastic anemia, erythroblastic hypoplasia and aplastic anemia.

A high negative correlation (coefficient similar to 0.9) between increased 59Fe absorption from a diagnostic 0.56 mg 59Fe2+ dose and the depletion of available storage iron was observed in menstruating and pregnant women, fullterm and premature infants, blood donors, patients with infections, inflammations, tumors, hepatic cirrhosis, gastric surgery, increased urogenital or gastrointestinal blood loss. The increased diagnostic 59Fe2+ absorption is a reliable and sensitive indicator of at least depleted iron stores or prelatent iron deficiency as caused by iron malnutrition or maldigestion, increased iron requirement in pregnancy, infancy, urogenital or gastrointestinal blood loss. Although the messenger system which signalyzes the depletion of iron stores to the iron absorbing enterocytes of the duodenal and jejunal mucosa is not yet known available storage iron seems to control intestinal iron absorption under normal and the great majority o pathological condition in humans. Anemia per se or high erythropoietin levels in blood do not influence iron absorption since patients with even severe erythroblastic hypoplasia, aplastic anemia and megaloblastic anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency absorb iron according to their iron stores. An only mild hyperplasia of the erythropoietic system in the bone marrow does also not effect iron absorption which was still under the control of available storage iron in patients with hereditary spherocytosis, nonspherocytic congenital hemolytic anemia due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, acquired hemolytic anemia and vitamin B12 deficiency induced megaloblastic anemia..

[A case of acute erythroblastic anemia due to infection with human parvovirus B19 after coronary artery bypass grafting].

A 37-year-old male developed reticulocytopenia and leukopenia with fever from the 11th patient day after coronary artery bypass grafting. Bone-marrow puncture revealed a marked decrease of erythroblasts and appearance of giant proerythroblasts. Thus, infection with human parvovirus B 19 (HPV-B 19) was suspected. At the onset of the disease, only IgM antibody was positive, but later IgG antibody also turned positive, and DNA of HPV-B19 was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the bone marrow specimen of the patient. Then the patient was diagnosed with acute erythroblastic anemia due to infection with HPV-B19. In this case, DNA of HPV-B19 was detected by PCR from a fibrin sealant used during operation. The fibrin sealant was found to be the source of infection. Fibrin sealants are used widely in the domain of surgery. Therefore, we should perform screening of plasma and make examination of the sealants, while paying attention to infections with HPV-B 19 in the future.

Cobalamin deficiency associated with erythroblastic anemia and methylmalonic aciduria in a border collie.

Anemia due to cobalamin deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that has been recognized in dogs only recently. This report concerns a 14-month-old border collie that presented for chronic, nonregenerative anemia. Cytological examination of a peripheral blood smear showed the presence of erythroblasts. Serum cobalamin levels were below reference ranges reported for clinically normal dogs. A methylmalonic aciduria was found on urinalysis. These signs are consistent with the anemia in Imerslund-Graesbeck syndrome reported in humans. Anemia due to cobalamin deficiency responds to parenteral vitamin B12 therapy, and affected animals have a good prognosis for recovery.
