Abstract Clinical similarities between vitamin B(12) and copper deficiencies prompted us to investigate if hypocupremia is present in patients receiving vitamin B(12) supplementation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In particular, CSF oligoclonal bands (OCBs) are present in the majority of MS patients and can be suggestive of an MS diagnosis. However, OCBs are not specific to MS and may occur in other CNS inflammatory disorders.[n.neurology.org]

Hypocupremia occurred in an adult with sickle cell anemia who received zinc as an antisickling agent for two years. The hypocupremia was associated with microcytosis and relative neutropenia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The book mentions need for interventional strategies for the management of nutritional anemia.[books.google.com]
We have since observed hypoceruloplasminemia of varying degrees in several other sickle cell anemia patients who were receiving oral zinc therapy. This complication was easily corrected by copper supplementation.[210.46.82.192]

Signs and symptoms : Signs and symptoms include failure to thrive, pallor, anemia, muscular hypotonia, short stature, repeated seizures, acne, deep philtrum, wide nasal bridge and early balding.[xpertdox.com]

Extensive workup is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. As for management, the earlier the intervention is initiated, the better prognosis would be for recovery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The early recognition and treatment of the symptoms of hypocupremia is emphasized to avoid these long-term sequelae.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of hypocupremia consists of the prompt reversal of the deficiency with intravenous copper infusion, oral supplementation of copper, or both, depending on the severity of the condition.[aafp.org]

Treatment and prognosis Cocoa is often trialled initially as it contains copper naturally in reasonable amounts and is palatable to the patient 1.[radiopaedia.org]
As for management, the earlier the intervention is initiated, the better prognosis would be for recovery. There are several treatment options which should be tailored to every patient with neurologic Wilson disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It is increasingly evident that a multitude of etiologies can give rise to signal abnormality in the dorsal and lateral columns of the spinal cord, apart from pernicious anemia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
While the actual prevalence of copper deficiency is not known, our series of patients and those reported recently by others suggests that it may be an under-recognized etiology of anemia and neutropenia appearing as MDS.[doi.org]
