Although the impact of iron accumulation in several organs of patients with thalassemia is well known, the adverse effect of iron accumulation in gut is not frequently mentioned. Here, we demonstrated iron-induced gut-permeability defect, impact of organismal molecules from gut translocation of, and macrophage functional defect upon the increased sepsis susceptibility in thalassemia mice.
