Abstract
Introduction: We present the case of a severe bicytopenia as a complication of uncontrolled zinc supplementation and consequent copper deficiency in a young female patient. Following rapid diagnosis, discontinuation of zinc intake and initiation of copper supplementation led to a complete regression of the findings in the blood count and bone marrow, which had initially been interpreted as potentially malignant.
