Description : African iron overload is a distinct iron-loading disorder prevalent in Africa. Formerly termed Bantu siderosis, the disorder results from a predisposition to iron loading that is exacerbated by excessive intake of dietary iron. It is particularly a problem among Africans who drink a traditional beer brewed in non-galvanized steel drums. Although the disorder was once attributed to dietary excess alone, serious iron overload does not develop in all beer drinkers, and not all patients with iron overload consume excessive amounts of the beer (summary by Andrews, 1999).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant plus dietary factor;
