Association of iron deficiency anemia and eating clove in an 8-year-old girl. A rare case report

Abstract

Iron-deficiency anemia is the most common nutrient disorder worldwide. It is defined pica as eating non-nutritive, non-food substances over a period of at least one month. Different types of pica have been reported in the literature. Although the exact etiology of pica is unknown, pica has been related to iron and other mineral/nutritional deficiencies. Although a relationship between iron-deficiency anemia and pica has been reported in the literature, no such association has been reported with eating clove so far. Therefore, I present the case of an 8-year-old girl diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia with clove pica.
