Of thirty children, aged between one and four years, with active rickets examined by Findlay (1909), only nine were anaemic, and he concluded that the anaemia was due to secondary complications of the rickets. Hess (1929) states that anaemia is usually found in advanced rickets, but is not characteristic. Parsons (1934) says that anaemia is in no sense a symptom of rickets, although a degree of...

BACKGROUND In heavily endemic malaria areas, it is almost inevitable that malarial infection will be associated with anaemia, although malaria may not be the prime cause of it. Anaemia is a major public health problem in Cameroon. We hypothesized that, factors other than falciparum malaria account for anaemia in the study area. METHODS A longitudinal study was conducted among 351 Plasmodium f...

chicken infectious anaemia is a viral disease in young chickens which characterized by aplastic anaemia and immunosuppression. between january 2004 and july 2005, an unusual hemorrhage in subcutaneous and intramuscular tissues of broiler chickens at slaughter houses of mashhad, isfahan and tehran provinces were occurred. postmortem examination revealed severe hemorrhages in the wings and muscle...

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of anaemia during pregnancy in Anuradhapura district and evaluate present screening methods for anaemia. METHODS Modified WHO 30 cluster sampling method with increased precision was used to estimate the prevalence of anaemia in the Anuradhapura district, Sri Lanka. Serum haemoglobin was measured using methemoglobin method. Clinical examination was carrie...

BACKGROUND Anaemia is common among patients with heart failure (HF) and is an important prognostic marker. AIM We sought to determine the prognostic importance of anaemia in a large multinational pooled dataset of prospectively enrolled HF patients, with the specific aim to determine the prognostic role of anaemia in HF with preserved and reduced ejection fraction (HF-PEF and HF-REF, respecti...

OBJECTIVE Anaemia is common during pregnancy, and prenatal Fe supplementation is the standard of care. However, the persistence of anaemia despite Fe supplementation, particularly in HIV infection, suggests that its aetiology may be more complex and warrants further investigation. The present study was conducted to examine predictors of incident haematological outcomes in HIV-infected pregnant ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Anaemia is a major health burden worldwide. Although the finding of conjunctival pallor on clinical examination is associated with anaemia, inter-observer variability is high, and definitive diagnosis of anaemia requires a blood sample. We aimed to detect anaemia by quantifying conjunctival pallor using digital photographs taken with a consumer camera and a popular smartphon...

BACKGROUND Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major nutritional problem among adolescents in India. The weekly iron and folic acid supplementation programme was launched in Kerala in 2013-14. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of anaemia among schoolchildren in Kollam district, Kerala and determine the associated factors. METHODS The haemoglobin level of 1600 boys and 1600 girls belonging to ...

BACKGROUND This study examines the relative importance of living in an urban versus rural setting and malaria in contributing to the public health problem of malarial anaemia (MA) and anaemia respectively in apparently healthy primary school children. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 727 school children aged between four and 15 years living in an urban (302) and rural (425)...
