Abstract

A recent study conducted at the Hind Institute of Medical Sciences in North India reported a rare case of Plummer-Vinson Syndrome in a 49-year-old male patient. The syndrome, characterized by microcytic hypochromic anemia, esophageal strictures, and dysphagia, is typically found in middle-aged women but rarely reported in males. The patient's symptoms improved with iron supplementation, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis due to the condition's precancerous nature. For more information, the research article can be accessed through the Indian Journal of Applied Research. [Extracted from the article]
