“…In a similar study done by Madoori et al, 58% of children were found to be anemic due to Iron deficiency anaemia, 27% because of sickle cell anaemia, 9% due to thalassemia, 5% due to megaloblastic anaemia and 2% due to aplastic anemia. 9 The increased prevalence of thalassemia in our study population is due to our hospital being a referral centre for Shujalpur and Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, India. Prevalence of thalassemia disorder in overall population is very high amongst tribal population.…”

Background: Anemia is a major global health problem. It results in significant morbidity and mortality among children.Methods: It is a retrospective study carried out with the help of medical records of Chirayu Medical College and Hospital Bhopal, from January 2017 to December 2019. Total number of 138 cases were taken in study as per inclusion criteria. Anemia was diagnosed on the basis of hemoglobin level and age of presentation. Anemia was classified into different types as per different hematological parameters and other relevant investigations.Results: Out of 138 children, 96 were found to be anemic. Majority of children were of age group 1 year to 5 years. There was male preponderance. It was found that 57% of children were anemic due to iron deficiency anemia, 16% were having thalassemia, 11% were having megaloblastic anemia, 5% with sickle cell anemia and 2% with aplastic anemia.Conclusions: Iron deficiency anemia is a major cause of morbidity worldwide. Anemia control is a global priority. Strategies to combat anemia by forging public private partnership, iron supplementation program, iron fortification of food items (point of care and at the level of manufacturing) and dissemination of awareness regarding anemia and treatment should be implemented. Special care should be taken to diagnose and counsel other major causes of anemia like thalassemia depending on the endemicity.

Introduction: The present study was to emphasize the chief causative factors, clinical manifestations, various hematological and morphological types in children with severe anemia, admitted to the pediatric wards of a tertiary care hospital. Objectives: The primary objective was to study clinical profile of severe anemia in children with various risk factor and hematological parameters among children with severe anemia. Methods: This was an observational study conducted in a tertiary health care institute. Children with severe anemia satisfying eligibility criteria with Hb less than or equal to 7gm/dl in age group 6 Month to 59 months. Less than or equal to 8gm/dl in age group 5 years to 14 years were included. Associated complaints and Clinical features were studied. Complete blood cell count with RBC indices-MCV, MCH and MCHC peripheral smear examination, reticulocyte count, stool examination, urine examination and Mantoux test were done in all patients. Serum ferritin, Hb electrophoresis, bone marrow examination, liver function test and renal function test, and x ray, U.S.G. abdomen, CT scan in relevant cases were done. Result: In this series 59 patients were included. Incidence of severe anemia was more in < 3.5 years age group (50.85%). Male to female ratio was 1.45:1. Out of 59 cases studied, 47(79.66%) had varying degrees of malnutrition. Pallor is the most prominent and characteristic sign noted in 59 cases (100%). Nutritional anemia was most common in 32 cases (55.93%) out of which 28 were microcytic and 4 were dimorphic. Associated infections were noted in 35 cases (59.32%). Conclusion: Nutritional deficiency is the most common cause of severe anemia especially iron deficiency anemia. Most of the children were malnourished and had infection indicating that severe anemia is directly related to malnutrition and infection. Pallor is the most consistent clinical sign of severe anemia. Severe anemia is more common in children aged < 3.5 years.

Introduction: Anemia is a major global health problem, especially in developing countries like India, despite the fact that this problem is largely preventable & easily treatable. Aim: The aim is to study the clinical and hematological profile of anemia in children aged 5 years to 12 years. Material and Methods: It is a prospective hospital based study conducted in children presented with anemia in the department of Pediatrics at Maheshwara Medical College and Hospital, Patancheru, Telangana. 110 pediatric cases of anemia were included in the study. Results: Majority of children were among followed by 5-6 years. Among different types of anemia studied, iron deficiency was reported predominantly 80/110 (72.7%) followed by megaloblastic anemia 20/110 (18.1%). There was female preponderance. Microcytic hypochromic anemia is seen in 81.8% (90/110). Dimorphic anemia was observed in 9.09 % of children. Conclusion Nutritional deficiency anemia is the most common cause of anemia among children aged 5 years to 12 years. Iron deficiency was found to be most common nutritional deficiency in children followed by megaloblastic anemia.
