It can causereduced work capacity in adults and impact motor and mentaldevelopment in children and adolescents. Aim of the currentresearch was to study the lymphocytic count in premenopausalwomen with iron deficiency anemia.Material and methods: The study was conducted in theDepartment of General Pathology of the medical institution.For the study, we selected 100 pre-menopausal womenbetween the age group of 18-40 years who were diagnosedwith iron deficiency anemia and their hemoglobin level wasless than 10 g/dL. 100 pre-menopausal women with normalhemoglobin level were recruited after matching with thesubjects for control group. The patients with thalassemia,leukemia or any other chronic and autoimmune disease wereexcluded from the study. Laboratory evaluation of eachsubject was done.Results: The mean age of the patients in study group was 32.67years and in control group was 34.58 years. There were 100subjects in each group. Table 2 shows the mean lymphocytecount in peripheral venous blood in pre-menopausal womenwith Iron deficiency anemia and normal healthy women. Themean CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and CD19+ lymphocyte countswere 1.66, 0.71, 0.66, 0.41, 1.18 X 109/L, respectively, instudy group, and 1.82, 0.59, 0.81, 0.31 and 1.59 X 109/L,respectively, for the control group.Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study, this can beconcluded that significant change in seen in the lymphocytecount in premenopausal women with iron deficiency anemia.Iron Deficiency AnemiaCellular ImmunityHumoral ImmunityJournal ArticleIndiaAssistant Professor, Department of General Pathology, Career Instiutute of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Lucknow, India
