A Case of Fanconi's Syndrome with a Study of Peroxidase Activity of the Erythron

Abstract

Fanconi's syndrome. a constitutional hypoplastic anaemia associated with multiple congenital defects, is sufficiently uncommon to warrant reporting. This syndrome was first described by Fanconi in 1927. It has since been recognized in Germany In the Japanese literature, the only case is that reported by Ida in 1952. We are reporting another instance of this syndrome in a Japanese girl, which, so far as we can determine, is the second to be published from Japan. In our case we have studied the alteration of the peroxidase activity of erythrons, and include our by copyright.
