Thin blood film was examined manually to comment on type and severity of anemia. The result reveled that means of Hb, PCV MCV, MCH, MCHC, RBC. were 8.4 g\d, 56%,, 26.6%, 77 fl, 24.3 pg, 31%, 3.8 x 106 cumm, respectively. These results showed that the frequency of microcytic hypochromic anemia 40%, normochromic normocytic 60%.
