title: Iron deficiency and dyserythropoiesis in bilharzial and non-bilharzial patients.
abstract: The degree of dyserythropoiesis was studied in bilharzial patients with iron deficiency anaemia. It provides a reliable indication of the severity of iron deficiency as measured by the serum iron and total iron binding capacity. A positive correlation has been found between the percentage incidence of dyserythropoiesis in the bone marrow and both the serum iron and percentage of iron saturation.
