Bantu Siderosis wth special reference to Rhodesian Africans
Abstract
Bantu siderosis is a condition found in African subjects in which excessive amounts of storage iron are found in certain body tissues. The storage iron occurs chiefly in the form of haemosiderin (Finch and Finch, 1955) and in the majority of cases is found in the liver, reticulo-endothelial system and small bowel mucosa.
