[Treatment of iron deficiency anemia with ferrosulfate serin komplex (author's transl)].

The results of treatment of iron deficiency anemia in 217 children and infants (aged 8 months to 12 years) with ferrosulfate serin complex are demonstrated: 208 children with simple iron deficiency anemia with hemoglobin 9.1 g/100 ml before treatment had in the first 4 weeks a daily increase of 0.082 g/10000 ml hemoglobin; in 3 children with severe anemia of chronic blood loss the daily increase was 0.21 mg/100 ml and in 6 children with hypoxic polycythemia with congenital heart disease and so called latent iron deficiency anemia the increse was 0.16 g/100 ml. Through the better absorption of this serin-ferrosulfate complex the required dosis is only 3 mg/kg/d. The benefit of this small dosis is the low rate of side effects.
