Abstract
Iron deficiency is the most prevalent nutritional deficiency affecting children and adolescents worldwide. A consistent body of epidemiological data demonstrates an increased incidence of iron deficiency at three timepoints: in the neonatal period, in preschool children, and in adolescents, where it particularly affects females.
Conclusion: This narrative review focuses on the most suggestive symptoms of iron deficiency in childhood, describes the diagnostic procedures in situations with or without anemia, and provides Swiss expert-based management recommendations for the pediatric context.
What is Known:
Iron deficiency (ID) is one of the most common challenges faced by pediatricians.
Significant progress in the diagnosis and therapy of ID has been made over the last decade.
What is New:
Our expert panel provides ID management recommendations based on the best available evidence.
They include strategies for ID diagnosis and therapy, both oral and intravenous.
