Mugahid Faroug Mohamed Ali, Mohammed Osman Swar, Atika Mohamed Osman.


Abstract
Iron deficiency anaemia is frequently seen in the paediatric age group. Modifying the treatment options according to the affected area resources will help accessibility and compliance to treatment. Response of children with Iron deficiency anaemia to a natural hematinic (Carboadeim) versus iron syrup plus folic acid treatment was compared in this study. This is a prospective, interventional, controlled, hospital-based study conducted among children with iron deficiency anaemia residing in Hussein Village, Gezira State who attended Giad Hospital. Patients were randomly divided into two groups; the control received iron supplements and folic acid, and the case received a combination of carrots, baobab (Adansonia digitata) and godeim (Grewia tenax) which is known as (Carboadeim). Blood tests were taken for investigations at start of treatment, after 7-10 days, 6 weeks and 3 months. Complete blood count, reticulocyte count and serum ferritin were taken as indicators. The mean haemoglobin level initially in the cases and controls was 7.38 and 7.35 gm/dL, respectively; after three months the mean was 11.67 and 11.384 gm/dL, respectively. The mean serum ferritin in the case and control groups was found to be 10.30 and 10.87 ng/ml, respectively at the start of treatment; and after 3 months they were reported to be 44.34 and 75.7 ng/ml confirming the positive response to treatment by Carboadeim. In conclusion Carboadeim is a naturally available and cost-effective hematinic blend that might be added to the food menu as a supplement as well as a treatment of nutritional anaemia in children.
