Anaemia, iron deficiency and susceptibility to infections.
[typhoid]
Anaemia
,
iron
deficiency
and
infections
are
three
major
causes
of
childhood
morbidity
and
mortality
throughout
the
world
,
although
they
predominantly
occur
in
resource
limited
settings
.
As
the
three
conditions
may
have
the
same
underlying
aetiologies
,
they
often
occur
simultaneously
and
may
interact
.
Being
an
essential
component
in
erythropoiesis
,
iron
is
also
essential
for
proper
functioning
of
the
host
immune
system
as
well
as
an
essential
nutrient
for
growth
of
various
pathogens
,
including
non-
typhoid
salmonella
.
This
has
resulted
in
a
treatment
dilemma
in
which
iron
is
needed
to
treat
the
iron
deficient
anaemia
and
improve
the
immune
system
of
the
host
(
child
)
,
but
the
same
treatment
may
also
put
the
child
at
an
increased
,
potentially
fatal
,
infection
risk
.
