The NFHS 2005-2006 revealed that at least 80% of Indian children aged 12-23 months are anemic. Most children with anemia are asymptomatic and have abnormal Hb or hematocrit level on routine screening. Anemia in infancy and early childhood is associated with behavioral and cognitive delays, and lower scores on test of mental and motor development. Aims & Objectives : To study clinical profile and factors associated with severe anemia. Materials and Methods: This study will be conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, Pt. B.D.S. PGIMS, Rohtak. The study will be carried out at Pt. B.D.S. PGIMS, Rohtak. The patients of age group 6 months to 59 months having severe anemia (Hb Results : Out 75 patients 39 belongs to iron def anemia (52%), 18 belongs to megaloblastic anemia (24%). The mean hemoglobin is 5.41 that ranges from 2 to 7 with standard deviation of 1.389. mean MCV is 75, MCH 20, MCHC 26. Most of anemic pt. belongs to grade 3 and 4 degree of malnutrition (76%) and upper middle and lower middle class of kuppuswami SES(91%). Conclusions: Prevalence of anaemia in children admitted at PGIMS is high. Characteristics most strongly associated with severe anemia included unemployment among caregivers and malnutrition. Iron deficiency anaemia and megaloblastic anaemia were the common types.
