  • Title: The iron status of anaemic pregnant Igbo women in Nigeria.
    Author: Obi GO, Chukudebelu WO.
    Journal: Trop Geogr Med; 1981 Jun; 33(2):129-33. PubMed ID: 7281211.
    Abstract:
    The iron status of 120 anaemic pregnant Igbo women was investigated. Of the 120 patients whose haemoglobin was less than 10%, 30 (25%) had iron deficiency anaemia; 89 (74%) had megaloblastic anaemia (most probably due to folate deficiency), while 1 had Hb sickle cell disease. Malaria parasites were detected in only 7.5% of our patients, and seemed not to have a important factor in the causation of anaemia.
