Abstract

Objective: To obtain the first two month's laboratory results in iron deficient infants between 0-6 years old, and to see the effects of iron supplement for two months in those infants. Materyals and Methods: Infants who applied to outpatient clinic of Zeynep Kamil Maternity Hospital and get the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia were included to the study. Infants were given oral $Fe^{++}$ and seen at the end of first and second month for repeat testing. Results: The mean hemoglobine level was 9.54 1.70 gr/dl and hemotocrite level was 30.46 3.82 in the beginning of the study. Hemoglobine level increased to 10.89 1.10 g'a (p

Abstract

Amaç: Fe eksikliği anemisi tanısı alan 0-6 yaş arası çocuklardaki laboratuar özellikleri belirlemek ve $Fe^{++}$ vererek bu tedavinin ilk 2 ay içindeki sonuç-larmı görmek. Materyal ve Metod: Zeynep Kamil Kadın Hastalıkları ve Çocuk Hastanesi Çocuk Hastalıkları Polikliniği'ne başvuran ve demir eksikliği anemisi olan çocuklar değerlendirmeye alındı. Bu çocuklara $Fe^{++}$ başlanarak testlerin tekrarı için 1. ay ve 2. ay sonunda kontrole çağrıldılar. Bulgular: Çalışma başlangıcında ortalama hemoglobin konsantrasyonu 9.54 1.70 gr/dl dir. Ortalama hematokrit değeri ise 30.46 3.82 dir. Ferro-glycin-sulfat tedavisi alan çocuklarda birinci ayın sonunda ortalama hemoglobin değeri 10.89 1.10 g'a (p
