title: [Study of serum ferritin in a population of 3-month-old breast feeding children].
abstract: The evaluation of serum ferritin level in a population of 30 three months old babies is made by the Authors following a radioimmunological method. The reckoned average values reflect exactly the wellknown elements of iron kinetics during the first months of life. The Authors underline that those values show how complete is breast-feeding; moreover they emphasize the importance of a referring value which, together with those already known in subjects of different ages, allows on early diagnosis of syndromes due to iron decrease and subsequent check-up after therapeutic trial.
