Abstract

Serum copper concentration was determined in 35 malnourished infants. They were feeding with breast milk or cow's milk. But the amount was very insufficient. Some of them were given formula preparad with rice or wheat flour.
Most of them were complaining frequent bouts of diarrhea.
Serum copper concentration was found below 60 ugr./100 ml. in three malnourished infants. One of them had hipcupremia together with anemia, lokopenia and notropenia. But one child had typical findings of hypocupremia namely; hypocupremia, hypoferremia, low ceruloplasmin level, hypochrom microcytic anemiz, lokonenia, notropenia, edema, hipoproteinemia hypoalbuminemia, and diffus osteoporosis of bones.

Abstract

Malnütrisyon gösteren 35 süt çocuğunda serum bakırı tayin edilmiştir. Bu vak'alar yetersiz anne sütü veya sulandırılmış inek sütü ile beslenmiş olup ilave gıdalara çoğunda başlanmamıştır. Vak'aların bir kısmına unlu gıdalar verilmiştir. 35 malnütrisyon vak'asının 3 ünde serum bakır değeri normal minima hudut olan 60 ugr/100 ml. mn altıda bulunmaktadır. Bu vak'alardan birinde hipocupremiaya refakat eden anemi lökopeni notropeni, tesbit edilmiş diğer bulgulara raslanmamıştır. Diğerinde ise hipocupremia ile birlikte hipoferremia serumun demir bağlama kapasitesinin azalması, hipochrom mikrositer anemi, lökopeni, notropeni, lenfositoz, ceruloplazmin azlığı, ödem, hipoproteinemi, hipoalbuminemi ve kemiklerde yaygın osteoporoz ile karakterize bulgular tespit edilmiştir.
