註釋Abstract: Iron metabolism and the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of iron deficiency during infancy and childhood are described. Iron deficiency constitutes the most common deficiency in both industrialized and developing nations. It is prevalent among infants and young children because their rapid growth imposes great needs for iron. Prolonged breast feeding and iron fortification are among the methods used to prevent the deficiency. Laboratory tests aimed at its diagnosis include measuring hemoglobin concentration and serum ferritin. Treatment usually involves the ingestion of ferrous sulfate.
