چکیده
Prematurity, haemorrhage, and erythroblastosis are common causes of anaemia in early infancy, while infection and congenital iron deficiency are relatively unimportant causes in the early months.

(1) There is no change in growth, as the person is nearly always an adult. (2) There is atrophy of the gonads. In women there is superinvolution of the uterus due to an absence of cestrin production, and complete amenorrhoea.
