We report the case of a young woman who presented with anemia and leukopenia. A bone marrow aspirate, revealed a marked excess of ringed sideroblasts. A detailed dietary history disclosed excessive zinc intake. High serum zinc and low serum copper concentrations were confirmed. After discontinuation of the zinc supplements, she made a complete hematologic recovery. This report emphasises the importance of trace metals and their rote in the development of hematologic abnormalities. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
