Sammanfattning

A healthy man in his late 30s was found to have elevated ferritin levels, which raised suspicion of haemochromatosis. He was treated for many years with phlebotomy, but in his 50s developed progressive neuropsychiatric symptoms. A blood test finally provided a diagnosis - more than 20 years after the illness first appeared.
