Abstract

 

Sideroblastic anemia comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders
characterized by ‘Ringed sideroblast‘ in nucleated erythroid precursors
of bone marrow. Lead based paint eating in children is more commonly
associated with secondary acquired sideroblastic anemia. A 6 year
old male child presented with complaints of feeling of weakness,
decreased appetite and short stature. History of pica was present.
Examination reveals marked pallor with no hepatosplenomegaly.
While approaching a child with short stature, detailed investigations
should be done and non endocrine causes should also be considered
at the back of our mind.
Keywords: Sideroblastic Anemia; Erythroid precursors;
Hepatosplenomegaly.
