Acute iron ingestion.
Indian Journal of Pediatrics 2002 November
OBJECTIVE: Intoxication is one of the most common causes of admissions to emergency department in pediatric age group. Incidence of iron poisoning gradually increased because of wide spread use of iron containing drugs.
METHOD: In this report, we present five cases of iron ingestion who were admitted to our emergency department within a year.
RESULT: Whole bowel irrigation in addition to gastric lavage with an iron dose of over 50 mg/kg as well as deferoxamine treatment for patients in whom clinical and laboratory indications are present.
CONCLUSION: The prompt recognition and treatment of children with acute iron poisoning is the single and the most critical point for decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated with iron containing products.
