Epidemiological and clinical aspects of anaemia in children aged 1 to 59 months

This is a descriptive study that took place from 1 January to 31 December 2016. Observations were made on patients aged 1 month to 59 months who were brought to consultation for anaemia, or who had been hospitalised for the same problem during the study period. Using the register of the paediatric department of the HGRCM, we observed 250 cases, of which 24 children were anaemic, representing a rate of 9.6% of cases.
