Anemias at children - diseases often meeting at children. It is caused by a physiological dismaturity of organs of a hemopoiesis at children and their high sensitivity to influence of adverse factors of an environment. At children allocate the same groups of anemias, as at adults.

Scarce anemias arise owing to insufficient entering in an organism of the child of the substances necessary for formation of a hemoglobin; they are observed more often at children of the first year of a life. Among scarce anemias are most widespread alimentary which are caused by an insufficient or monotonous delivery. Insufficient entering in an organism of iron (iron deficiency anemias), fiber that breaks formation of an albuminous part of a hemoglobin is in most cases marked. The certain value in development of scarce anemias has also a failure of such vitamins, as В6, В2 and Acidum folicum (vitamin scarce anemias) which participate in synthesis of a hemoglobin. Quite often scarce anemias are marked at the diseases, processes of an absorption accompanied by disturbance in an intestine. Development of scarce anemias is promoted by frequent diseases, and also a prematurity.
