Abstract
We describe a child with transient erythroblastopenia of childhood and breath-holding spells. The spells resolved after oral iron supplementation but before the anemia resolved. The physiologic role of iron in autonomic nervous system regulation and its potential role in the treatment of breath-holding spells are discussed.
