چکیده
Though extensive studies have been made of the subject, many gaps in our knowledge of the anaemias complicating pregnancy still exist. These gaps are particularly noticeable when information is sought concerning the origin of anaemia, chiefly because most of the workers on the subject have been dealing with uncontrolled populations. I use the word origin instead of onset advisedly, because it implies some knowledge of the aetiology of the disease and it is probable that more information about the onset will provide the clue to the aetiology of the disease. I have therefore taken advantage of my position as medical officer to a controlled population to study the onset and development of these anaemias. This work has been only the spare time occupation of a general practitioner, so that the amount of material is small and conclusions drawn therefrom await confirmation by other workers in the field. I shall feel satisfied if I can stimulate others who are in daily contact with tea garden labour to record their experience.
