Michael Reyes and Terrence

Abstract

We present the case of recurrent fractures and hypophosphataemic rickets that occurred in a young man who received parenteral ferrous carboxymaltose (FCM) for chronic iron deficiency associated with Crohn disease. The effect of FCM on bone and mineral metabolism and the frequency of this disorder are discussed.
