Etiological study of microcytic hypochromic anemia [PDF]
Background: Microcytic hypochromic anemia is a distinct morphologic subtype of anemia with well- de ned etiology and treatment. The objective of this study was to determine the etiology and frequency of microcytic hypochromic anemia.

Red cell distribution width’s role in differentiating iron deficiency anemia from other hypochromic microcytic anemias [PDF]
Background and objective: The red cell distribution width is suggested to be a more sensitive indicator for microcytic hypochromic anemia. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the role of red cell distribution width in the diagnosis of iron ...

Development and Validation of a Nomogram Based on Red Blood Cell and Reticulocyte Parameters for Differentiating Thalassemia Trait From Iron Deficiency Anemia. [PDF]
Thalassemia trait (TT) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are the primary causes of microcytic hypochromic anemia with overlapping hematological features, making their differential diagnosis challenging, so this study developed and validated a nomogram integrating red blood cell (RBC) count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), reticulocyte percentage (RET ...

Three-Month Iron Supplementation as Treatment for Microcytic Hypochromic Anemia in Pregnancy [PDF]
In pregnant women there is a twofold increase in iron requirements due to increased blood volume without the expansion of plasma volume. Pregnant women are very prone to suffering from iron deficiency anemia.

Plummer-Vinson syndrome in a 10-year-old boy from Côte d'Ivoire: An exceptional paediatric case with African context. [PDF]
Abstract Plummer–Vinson syndrome (PVS) is characterised by the triad of dysphagia, iron‐deficiency anaemia, and proximal oesophageal webs. While well described in adults, paediatric cases remain exceptionally rare, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa.

Severe Macrocytic Anemia Associated With a Novel <i>ALAS2</i> Mutation: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT X‐linked sideroblastic anemia (XLSA), caused by pathogenic variants in ALAS2, typically presents as microcytic anemia in males. However, heterozygous females occasionally exhibit an atypical macrocytic phenotype, often leading to diagnostic ambiguity and confusion with nutritional anemias or myelodysplastic syndromes.

A diagnostic pitfall in iron-refractory microcytic hypochromic anemia with acquired ring sideroblasts initially treated as iron deficiency anemia—a case report [PDF]
Microcytic hypochromic anemia is commonly presumed to represent iron deficiency anemia (IDA) at initial presentation. However, failure to respond to iron supplementation and iron indices inconsistent with IDA should prompt early diagnostic reassessment ...

Inherited microcytic anemias due to disorders of iron and heme metabolism: An updated clinical review [PDF]
Abstract Microcytic anemia is among the most common hematological abnormalities in clinical practice and is usually attributable to iron deficiency, thalassemia traits, or anemia of inflammation. A small but clinically important subset of patients, however, has inherited disorders of iron metabolism or heme synthesis presenting with persistent ...

pattern of blood cell parameters in thyroid dysfunction [PDF]
Background: Thyroid hormones are important in hematopoiesis, especially erythropoiesis. Thyroid dysfunction, including hypo and hyperthyroidism, are associated with variable hematological abnormalities, particularly anemia.
