These anemias can be distinguished as nosideroblastic and sideroblastic. These disorders are quite rare, but it should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of patients with persistent microcytic anemia, which either do not respond to appropriate treatment or is associated with signs of iron accumulation, suggestive of inability to utilize existing iron. The occurrence of signs or symptoms from other organs like the skin, liver, nervous system and endocrine glands needs to be taken into consideration . The understanding of pathogenetic mechanism underlying these clinical entities is expanding and is contributing to more efficacious treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haema 2016; 7(3): 278-283 by Antonis Kattamis1, Helen Atmatzidou2, Mary Moraki2, Dimitra Kyriakopoulou2 1Associate.
