The anemia persisted despite transfusion with packed cells.
In newborns and young infants, these conditions are caused by anemia and nutritional deficiencies.
Finally, we have to appreciate that some diagnostic profiles may have selected protective functions, as sickle-cell anemia protects against malaria in tropical climates.
The latter were confined to neutropenia (2) and anemia (1).
Treatment of anemia such as erythropoietin has been reported to decrease fatigue in these patients.
Different paleopathologies were caused mainly by nutritional deficiencies (anemias); changes in infant metabolism (cranial hyperostosis); and infection or inflammation, including caries.
The technique is being used for gene-based disorders such as sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and phenylketonuria.
With the exception, in some countries, of thalassemia, sickle-cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis, they account for a small percentage of health-care expenditures.
