AB  - There are numerous and different reason for the causes, symptoms, consequences and treatments
of anemia diseases. The correct diagnosis of each type of anemia is therefore, important. Those who are most
vulnerable are the newborns and under-five children. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to identify
the variables that affect the diagnosis of the two anemia diseases among children: hemolytic anemia and G6PD
deficiency. This aim is intended to be achieved by using the discriminant analysis to differentiate between the
G6PD deficiency and hemolytic anemia among the selected 150 children infected with the diseases. The result
of the study showed that three factors such as jaundice, fever and age contribute to the significant differences
between the group of children infected with hemolytic anemia and the group of children infected with G6PD
deficiency. There is high capability of differentiating between these two groups with the discriminant function
obtained from these factors. Therefore, this study recommends the use of discriminant function to help in
diagnosing the cases of these diseases as carried out by the medical authorities concerned with anemia in
children.
