Een meisje met 'breath-holding spells' en anemie, behandeld door ijzersuppletie

– A girl aged 1.5 years was presented because of frequent breath-holding spells. Anaemia was also diagnosed. Iron supplementation reduced the frequency and severity of the spells until they fully disappeared. The pathophysiological relationship between breath-holding spells and anaemia has not been clarified, but iron supplementation appears to be effective in many patients.
