Clinic and treatment of late chlorosis

Abstract

Already at the VIII All-Union Congress of Therapists in 1925 it was stated that the number of cases of chlorosis both in the USSR and in Western European countries had sharply decreased. If according to Denecke's statistics in 1901, out of 12,000 case histories analyzed by him, 201 cases of chlorosis were established, then in 1923 out of 20,000 patients there were only 3 cases of chlorosis. Arinkin states that after 1917 he did not observe chlorosis. Ivanov did not encounter a single case of chlorosis in the last 20 years of his work. Along with this fact, a new form of chlorosis has been observed in recent years, occurring in older women, accompanied by achylia, which does not respond to treatment with arsenic and responds well to treatment with iron.
