In two groups of infants with malnutrition of different degree due to underfeeding, determinations of the serum values of copper, iron, total iron-binding capacity and paraphenylene diamine oxidase were performed. The resulting figures were significantly decreased, but despite this, no anemia or signs of iron or copper deficiency were observed. A brief discussion of the results is given.
