Abstract
Aim: The aim of present study was to know the spectrum of anemia in pediatric age group using different haematological and biochemical investigations. Material and Method: The present study was conducted in the Department of Pathology at SMS Medical College among patients with anemia in the age group of 0 to 18 years. Various haematological (CBC, GBP, Bone marrow aspiration, HPLC) and biochemical (Serum ferritin, Serum iron, TIBC, Vitamin B12 and Folic acid) investigations were done on the blood samples received. Data so collected was tabulated in an excel sheet and was analyzed using SPSS software version 22. Results: Maximum 104 (41.6%) patients were diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. 71(68.2%) IDA patients were found in age group 1-6 years. 34 patients were diagnosed with vitamin deficiency anemia (Vit. B12, Foloc acid or both). Maximum (17.6%) number of Folic acid deficiency were found in 7-12 years. Conclusion: Haematological and biochemical tests can be used for early detection of anemia. Preventive programme for control of anemia in children should be made accompanied by measures of providing appropriate nutritional requirements.
