In our paper, we present the fascinating story of Lasthénie de Ferjol syndrome. A rare self-induced iron deficiency anaemia caused by surreptitious blood-letting. The French haematologist Jean Bernard first described the syndrome and named it after the heroine of Barbey d' Aurevilly's novel The Story without a Name. This factitious anaemia presents a great challenge for physicians even today, both in diagnosis and in therapy.
在我们的论文中,我们呈现了拉什捷尼·德费尔若尔综合征的迷人故事。这是一种罕见的由秘密放血引起的自身免疫性缺铁性贫血。法国血液学家让·贝尔纳首次描述了该综合征,并以巴尔贝·多尔维利小说《无名故事》中的女主角命名。即使在今天,这种人为性贫血在诊断和治疗方面都对医生构成了巨大挑战。
