Abstract
Nutritional anemias are common in developing countries like India. It is a condition in which the hemoglobin content of the blood is lower than normal as a result of deficiency of one or more nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B12 and folic acid. Hemoglobinopathies is another major problem. The major hemoglobinopathies common in India are thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. About 100,000 children are born every year world over with homozygous state for thalassemia. The aim of the present study is to study anemia in new born to thirteen year age group patients. All the samples of inpatients coming from paediatric department of our hospital for complete blood count were screened and the cases having low hemoglobin count were included in our study. The study has been conducted for the period of May, 2011 to April, 2013.
