Abstract

Background : Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is associated with various changes in the body systems including changes in the haematologic system. These changes affect all the blood cells.. Observations about haematological changes in this group of children have been inconsistent due to frequent and constant changes in haemopoesis resulting from this condition. This has limited the usefulness of these parameters in the anticipatory care of these patients thus the need to describe and validate the changes and possible haematological disturbance among children with PEM informed this study in Ilorin, North-central Nigeria.
