Neonatal Copper Deficiency
Abstract
PURE copper deficiency in man has probably never been observed. When it occurs other deficiencies complicate the picture. In infants, a disorder characterized by hypocupremia, hypoferremia, neutropenia, hypoproteinemia and anemia has been reported.1,2Recently, we had the opportunity to study a three-month-old, low-birth-weight infant with the clinical and laboratory picture of copper deficiency who was not marasmic and had been thriving rather well.Case ReportJ.P., a 3-month-old male Indian infant, was referred for evaluation of anemia and a Central-nervous-system disorder. He had been born at 34 weeks' gestation, with an Apgar score of 2 at birth and a weight . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
