RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Near fatal iron intoxication managed conservatively JF BMJ Case Reports FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP bcr2012007670 DO 10.1136/bcr-2012-007670 VO 2013 A1 Jhuma Sankar A1 Amelin Shukla A1 Rohit Khurana, A1 Nandkishore Dubey YR 2013 UL http://casereports.bmj.com/content/2013/bcr-2012-007670.abstract AB We report here the case of an infant who presented to the emergency department after unintentional ingestion of almost 130 mg/kg of elemental iron. The infant had evidence of serious toxicity in the form of hypotension, metabolic acidosis and excessive irritability. Her serum iron levels were 360 µg/dl, which was well above the normal range for her age. Despite such high serum levels, the infant made an uneventful recovery with medical management alone and did not require exchange transfusion. We chose to report this case to highlight her uneventful recovery with conservative therapy alone.
