Total dose imferon (iron-dextran complex) infusion therapy in severe hookworm anaemia.

Reactions to Total Dose Intravenous Infusion of Iron Dextran (imferon).

The treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia by iron-dextran infusion, with special reference to the effect on blood-grouping, coagulation, sedimentation and haemolysis.

Fifty patients with iron-deficiency anaemia were treated by total-dose infusion of iron-dextran. The therapeutic response was satisfactory in all cases. No severe systemic side effects occurred. In ten patients in whom detailed investigations were made there was no change in erythrocyte sedimentation rate or blood coagulation nor was there evidence of haemolysis following the irondextran infusi...

Effect of intravenous iron-dextran (Imferon) infusion on antigen induced monarticular arthritis in rabbits.

The effect of intravenously infused iron-dextran (Imferon) on the progression of antigen induced monarticular arthritis in rabbits was studied. A rapid deposition of iron and apoferritin in the synovia of arthritis joints occurred after infusion of iron-dextran during either the acute or chronic phases of the disease. This coincided with the appearance of catalytic (bleomycin reactive) iron in ...

Total-dose infusion of iron-dextran in rheumatoid arthritis.

Ten patients with active rheumatoid arthritis were given a total dose infusion of iron dextran for anaemia. One had an immediate anaphylactoid reaction; the other nine had a brief exacerbation of arthralgia and joint dysfunction of up to seven days' duration. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate rose by an average of 23 mm. in one hour (Westergren), but this often took longer than seven days to s...
