A 23-year-old male student (height 180 cm, weight 63 kg) without any cardiac symptoms underwent a cardiological examination and consultation before a marathon run. A holosystolic mitral valve prolapse was discovered. After the marathon run he developed anorexia nervosa, interrupted by brief bulimic periods, to a minimal weight of 48 kg. After psychosomatic in-patient treatment and a weight gain to 60 kg an anorexic period recurred and he lost weight. In this phase he had an iron deficiency anaemia (Hb 11.9 g/dl), leucopenia (2,900/microliters) and (compared with the status at the first examination) mild decrease in heart size, while the valve prolapse was unchanged. Ergometric capacity was still above normal, at 300 W. After taking iron, magnesium and potassium salts in-patient psychosomatic treatment was renewed.

In light of the current interest in anorexia nervosa, this historical study explores the relationship of culture to age- and gender-specific symptomatologies. Between 1870 and 1920, chlorosis, a form of anemia, was widely reported in female adolescents in the United States. Diagnosis occurred on both the clinical and popular levels, yet neither the etiology nor the symptoms were precisely clear. Treatment generally included rest and large doses of iron salts. In large part, chlorosis was a cultural construction embedded in the context of Victorian medicine and family life. Physicians expected to see chlorosis in adolescent girls in the process of sexual maturation; girls learned to have the disease from family, friends, the popular press, and their doctors. Changes in diet and nutrition after 1900, coupled with increased understanding of ovarian function and iron deficiency anemia, provide only a partial explanation of the disease's eventual decline. By 1920, a changed social environment made chlorosis a social liability for girls and their mothers.

A 48-year-old woman with a history of anorexia nervosa was admitted to our hospital because of malaise, anorexia and edema in the face and legs. She was diagnosed with gelatinous bone marrow and iron deficiency anemia due to severe malnutrition. She was intravenously treated by saccharated ferric oxide and her anemia was improved, but her bone marrow still showed much gelatinous material.

Maternal nutrition in pregnancy has a key influence on optimum fetal health. Eating disorders (EDs) during pregnancy may have detrimental effects on fetal growth and the child's early development. There is limited knowledge concerning the eating behavior, dietary intake and derived nutritional biomarkers as well as the nutrient supplementation in women with EDs during pregnancy. We performed a systematic review according to the PRISMA statement to synthesize current evidence in this field. Of N = 1203 hits, 13 full-texts were included in the qualitative synthesis. While women with current Binge Eating Disorder (BED) showed higher energy and fat intakes during pregnancy, women with a lifetime Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN) or both (AN + BN) had similar patterns of nutrient intake and dietary supplement use as healthy women. There is evidence, that women with a history of EDs have a sufficient diet quality and are more likely to be vegetarian. Dieting and bingeing improved substantially with pregnancy. The highlighted differences in the consumption of coffee/caffeine and artificially sweetened beverages as well as the elevated prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in women with a past or active ED during pregnancy might have an important impact on fetal development.
