Abstract
Introduction: reports on the hematological profile of Colombian children living in malarious areas are scarce in Colombia; in these areas, coexisting pathogenic intestinal parasites and chronic malnutrition. Objective: to determine the hematological profile of children in Urabá Antioqueño and explore its relationship with pathogenic intestinal parasites and chronic malnutrition. Materials and methods: prevalence survey in 1.600 children. Results: chronic malnutrition is at 25%; intestinal parasites in 83%; chronic malnutrition or intestinal parasites in 89%. The average hemoglobin indicates iron deficiency anemia in 100%. Serum retinol is deficient in 71%. The mean ferritin is normal in all. Hemoglobin has significant difference by sex, age, chronic malnutrition and chronic sex strata malnutrition. Anemia has these frequencies: 71% hypochromic microcytic; normochromic microcytic 27%. Conclusions: because pathogenic intestinal parasites and chronic malnutrition alter immune function, it seems fair to conclude that these children must be altered such function and do not know the impact this can have on your current and future health. It is urgent to implement and maintain the recommendations and public health policies that Colombia has signed and which relate to the provision of food aid, vitamin A supplementation and periodic mass deworming.
