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.

Abstract

Demir eksikliği anemisi dünya çapında en yaygın beslenme bozukluğudur. Pika, besleyici olmayan, gıda dışı maddelerin en az bir aylık bir süre boyunca tüketilmesi olarak tanımlanır. Literatürde farklı pika türleri bildirilmiştir. Pika'nın kesin etiyolojisi bilinmemekle birlikte, pika demir ve diğer mineral/besin eksiklikleri ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Literatürde demir eksikliği anemisi ile pika arasında bir ilişki bildirilmiş olmasına rağmen, şimdiye kadar karanfil yemek ile böyle bir ilişki bildirilmemiştir. Bu nedenle, karanfil pikası ile demir eksikliği anemisi tanısı konulan 8 yaşında bir kız olgusunu sunmaktayım.
