Summary

  1. 1.

    One hundred cases of anæmia in infants of Central India, below the age of two years, have been studied clinically and hæmatologically.

  2. 2.

    History with regard to feeding suggested a deficiency in iron containing foods in most cases.

  3. 3.

    Amongst the associated conditions present, tuberculosis comprised 30 %, other respiratory infections 22% and diarrhoeas 21%.

  4. 4.

    Compared to 100 non-anæmic sick infants of the same age group, in this series a distinct preponderance of positive Mantoux reactors was observed.
