Mean haematological values in ill infants and pre-school children in Cape Town
Abstract
Previous investigations showed that iron-deficiency anaemia occurred commonly in apparently healthy infant and prechool children in the 3 main racial groups' in Cape Town. Treatment of these subjects with various' oral iron preparations was followed by a significant rise in the haemoglobin level. Routine haemoglobin estimations of ill infants and children showed that they also frequently had low haemoglobin levels. In view of these findings it seemed important 10 determine haematological valuecS in a series of these ill subjects.
