We describe two children who had breath-holding spells that were accelerating in frequency and severity and in one case had recrudesced. Both patients had signs, symptoms, and laboratory findings of severe anemia. With correction of anemia the breath-holding spells promptly and completely resolved in each case. We conclude that in some patients anemia may be a factor contributing to breath-holding spells and that correction of concomitant anemia may produce amelioration or remission of the spells.
我们描述了两名患有屏气发作的儿童，其发作频率和严重程度不断增加，其中一例病情复发。两名患者均有严重贫血的体征、症状和实验室检查结果。随着贫血的纠正，每例患者的屏气发作均迅速且完全缓解。我们得出结论，在某些患者中，贫血可能是导致屏气发作的一个因素，纠正并发的贫血可能会使发作得到改善或缓解。
