Abstract

A 5 year-old boy with hypochromic anemia and deafness was diagnosed as having hereditary sideroblastic anemia, because hematologic studies revealed hyperferremia and numerous ringed sideroblasts in his bone marrow smears. A similar type of anemia was also found in his uncle who had been diagnosed as a case of primary sideroblastic anemia at another hospital. He did not respond to a large dose of pyridoxal phosphate (200mg/day) administered over several months. Our patient is the youngest case of hereditary sideroblastic anemia ever documented in Japan.
