Abstract :
BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is particularly high in children in developing countries .Sympathetic skin response (SSR) is a polysynaptic reflex, and its final efferent pathway involves pre- and post-ganglionic sympathetic sudomotor fibers that ultimately activate the sweat glands through sympathetic outflow . The aim of this study was to investigate whether IDA is involved in SSR. METHODS: 24 patients (17 girls, 7 boys) with IDA and 20 healthy children (11 girls, 9 boys) were enrolled in the study. RESULTS: Significant differences were observed between the palmar SSR results (latency, ms) of the patient and the control groups (1.09±0.24, 0.92±0.30, p= 0.048). There was no correlation between ferritin levels and SSR results of the patient group ( p=0.65 ). CONCLUSIONS: The evidence from this preliminary study suggests that efferent C fibers of the sympathetic nervous system may not intact in IDA. The sudomotor autonomic function test may be useful to detect autonomic involvement earlier.
