Abstract

ZINC IS A COMMON SUPPLEMENT AND IS WIDELY AVAILABLE as a standard component of many over-the-counter products. A number of reports have identified an association between excessive zinc intake and severe cytopenia. We report a case of zinc-induced copper deficiency in a young adult to illustrate this under-recognized cause of anemia and neutropenia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
