Detailed Description

Iron deficiency is frequently present with chronic inflammatory disease.(1) Iron deficiency anemia results from decreased body's iron content due to blood loss, poor dietary iron intake, malabsorption, or increased iron requirement. Immune activation drives a diversion of iron to storage sites, particularly the mononuclear phagocytes system in liver and spleen leads to poor hemoglobinization and anemia. Iron deficiency and immune activation lead to disturbances of iron homeostasis.(2) this trial will compare the response to iron deficiency anemia to lactoferrin plus ferrous poly maltose versus ferrous poly maltose in Children With Chronic Tonsillitis
