Abstract
Background: iron deficiency is the commonest cause of nutritional anaemia in children worldwide particularly in developing countries. Infants and toddlers are prone to developing iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of IDA and some factors associated with it in this group of children.
Study Design: In a study, haemoglobin concentration and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) estimations done in 282 apparently well children aged 6-24 months. Estimations of serum iron (SI), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), serum ferritin (SF) and transferrin saturation (TS) were also determined in children with anaemia (Hb concentration
