Due to an increased incidence of copper deficiency, we investigated adult patients who had low serum levels of copper with cytopenia at our hospital from March 2014 to March 2021.We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of patients who had been diagnosed with cytopenia due to copper deficiency at the Aichi Medical University Hospital from March 2014 to March 2021.In the 15 patients with cytopenia secondary to low serum copper level, 11 had cytopenia of two to three lineages; three (27%) had pancytopenia, and eight (73%) had bicytopenia. Of the 15 patients, nine (60%) underwent bone marrow examinations; three (30%) showed typical morphologic features associated with copper deficiency, such as multiple clear cytoplasmic vacuoles in erythroblasts and myeloid cells, and three (30%) showed dysplastic features as observed in myelodysplastic syndrome. Among the 14 (93%) patients who were treated with copper supplements, had cessation of zinc supplements, or both, 11 (73%) and eight (53%) showed normal copper levels and hematological improvement, respectively.Copper deficiency is more common than expected and should be considered in patients with unexplained cytopenia. |
