title: [Deferoxamine in hemosiderosis. Fecal iron excretion during continuous subcutaneous infusion].
abstract: Faecal iron excretion during continuous subcutaneous deferoxamine infusion was measured by flameless atom-absorption spectral photometry in 21 patients with homozygous ss-thalassaemia and one patient with Blackfan-Diamond anaemia. Taking into account faecal and urinary iron excretion, more iron was eliminated than was taken up during transfusion and by intestinal absorption. Urine contained 37.9%, faeces 62.1% of the amount of iron eliminated.
