AbstractIron deficiency anaemia is characterized by the conjunction of a microcytic, typically are generative anaemia and a biochemical syndrome in which sideropoenia is associated with transferrin increase. It is usually due to a chronic exsudative gastrointestinal or gynaecological bleeding. Diagnosing the mechanism of anaemia is easy in most cases, but difficulties arise from association with a pathology, such as chronic inflammatory syndrome, disturbing the haematological or biochemical data. The prognosis of iron deficiency anaemia depends on its cause. Treatment is aetiological (the cause of chronic bleeding is suppressed) and symptomatic (the body's iron reserves are quickly restored).
