IS IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA AN ADDITIONAL FEATURE OF JERVELL-LANGE NIELSEN SYNDROME?

Bu olguda ciddi demir eksikliği anemisi olan ve konjenital sağırlık ile uzun QT sendromu nedeniyle Jervell and Lange-Nielsen sendromu tanısı alan hasta sunulmuştur. Ciddi demir eksikliği anemisi olan hastalarda Jervell and Lange-Nielsen sendromunun akılda tutulması gerektiğini vurgulamak isteriz. Demir eksikliği anemisi bu sendromun ek bir bulgusu olabilir. Aynı zamanda Jervell and Lange-Nielsen sendromu tanılı hastalarda demir eksikliği anemisi açısından değerlendirilmesi gerekir

DEMİR EKSİKLİĞİ ANEMİSİ JERVELL-LANGE NIELSEN SENDROMUNUN EK BİR BULGUSU MUDUR?

In this case, a 5-years-old boy who admitted to our hospital with severe iron deficiency anemia and diagnosed as Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome because of long QT and congenital deafness was presented. We would like to emphasize that Jervell and Lange- Nielsen syndrome should be in mind in patients who have severe iron deficiency anemia. We suggest that iron deficiency anemia may be an additional feature of this syndrome. We also suggest that all patients with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome should be examined for iron deficiency anemia as well
