“Our day to day practice, microcytosis is a must phenomenon. always start from most common causes toward common, less common and rare one.
Master the most common causes ( make your self so comfortable that with the help of history, examination, CBC and iron studies your can predict 95 % of the causes of microcytic anemias)

- thalassemia traits ( most common in pediatric population)
