Iron status in atrophic glossitis: a pilot study.

We studied the relationship between laboratory markers of iron status and atrophic glossitis diagnosed clinically and documented with photographs. Nine subjects with glossitis underwent determination of CBC, ferritin, iron, and iron binding capacity. Five of the subjects had laboratory evidence suggesting iron deficiency.
