Abstract
Anaemia whether clinically overt or not is a common condition encountered by family physician. The most commonly encountered disorders with mild microcytic hypochromic anaemia are iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and Thalassemia Trait (TT). The establishment of an accurate diagnosis is of great importance in ensuring correct treatment. A total of forty four patients with hypochromic microcytic anaemia were screened for various hematological profiles in the age group of 1-12 years. Out of 44 patients studied 56.8% were girls, 43.2% were boys. Mild anaemia was observed in 59.1% of cases, moderate anaemia was observed in 29.5 % of cases and severe anaemia was observed in 11.4% of cases. Hb Electrophoresis, Serum Iron profile and Red cell indices are complementary to each other in the precise diagnosis of microcytic hypochromic anaemia of varied etiology, which would enable comprehensive wholesome treatment.
