Dr. Tejas Shah, Dr. Taruna Rathod

Abstract :

100 patients of megaloblastic anemia are studied from august 2011 to July 2013. We studied various clinical manifestations including detailed examination of hematological and Neurological manifestations. Megaloblastic anemia is diagnosed by complete blood count, red cell indices,blood film examinationand assay of two vitamins. Bone marrow examination is not essential for diagnosis of megaloblastic anemia. Cobalamin deficiency was most common cause of deficiency. Aetiological factors were a diet poor in cobalamin or folate, increased requirements during the growth period and pregnancy, and the use of anti folate medication. Physicians managing these patients need to be aware of the timing of blood sampling for assays, detailed history regarding diet and drugs.
