Symptomatic Anemia Due to Cameron Lesions: A Case Report.
Cureus
November 2024
Department of Emergency and Hospital Medicine, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Allentown, USA.
Cameron lesions are a unique and relatively rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding that appears in the mucosa of the gastric body in the presence of a large hiatal hernia. These lesions can be a source of occult bleeding and subsequent chronic iron deficiency anemia (IDA) but may often be missed on initial endoscopy, requiring repeat studies to diagnose. Prompt treatment for Cameron lesions is necessary to avoid the high mortality rate associated with them.

Background: The faecal immunochemical test (FIT) is an immunoassay used to detect human blood in the stool. The role of FIT as a screening tool for small bowel pathology remains unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of FIT in predicting small bowel pathology in patients with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA).

Background: Iron refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) is a rare autosomal recessive type of anemia characterized by unresponsiveness to oral iron therapy and partial response to parenteral iron therapy. In this article, we report the clinical presentation of four patients with IRIDA admitted to our clinic, including their laboratory values at admission and after oral and parenteral iron treatment, and the analysis of their mutation(s) in TMPRSS6 gene.
Case: Four patients from different families, aged between 3 and 14 years, two girls and two boys, two of whom were from consanguineous marriages, who were diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia in primary health care institutions and referred to our clinic because of inadequate response to oral iron treatment were included.

Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Kelaniya, Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Background: The SLCO2A1 gene encodes a prostaglandin transporter and we report a novel mutation causing hypoproteinaemia and refractory anaemia due to chronic enteropathy.
Case Presentation: An 18-year-old boy of consanguineous parents was investigated for hypoproteinaemia and anaemia. He was short, pale and had generalised oedema.
