Causes of hypochromic microcytic anemia in children and evaluation of laboratory parameters in the differentiation. J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 2019; 41(4): e221– e223; doi: https://doi.org/10.1097/MPH.0000000000001382Google Scholar Investigators from Turkey conducted a prospective cohort study in children with hypochromic microcytic anemia to assess the frequency of the diagnoses of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and β-thalassemia trait (TT), as well as how blood cell count parameters differed between them. Children 6 months to adolescents 18 years old who were referred to the study institution for outpatient evaluation of hypochromic microcytic anemia were included. Those with a known hematologic diagnosis or a chronic disease were excluded. Complete blood cell counts, serum iron levels, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), ferritin levels, transferrin levels, and a peripheral smear were obtained from all participants.
