We report two cases in which the data marked by low levels of serum iron (Fe) (negative value), low levels of serum calcium (Ca) and high levels of serum potassium (K) were inconsistent with their clinical states. Re-examination within 1 day showed that all the data were within or close to the reference intervals. These results could suggest contamination of ethylene diamine tetraacetate-dipotassium salt (K(2)EDTA) used in the blood collection tube for peripheral blood cell count in the tube for the serum. One of the mechanisms was suspected to be due to the backflow of evacuated blood mixed with K(2)EDTA into serum tube.
