ABSTRACT
Accidental iron ingestion is not uncommon in children and has become a leading cause of unintentional pharmaceutical ingestion fatality. Difficulty in obtaining urgent serum iron levels in majority of hospitals in India, lack of objective indices for starting and stopping the chelation therapy and the cost of chelation therapy, all pose a significant challenge for a clinician in managing an acutely intoxicated patient. This review emphasizes the need for early recognition and correct intervention of a child with acute iron overdose to avoid undue morbidity and mortality.
