- Anemia
In this report studies were performed on 6 normals, 13 patients with anemia from infection or inflammation, and 18 patients with anemia caused by advanced malignancy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Malaria is probably the most common cause of hemolytic anemia on a worldwide basis, and much has been learned about how the parasite enters the erythrocyte and the mechanism of anemia. [mhmedical.com]
- Chronic Infection
Infection Susceptibility with Iron Deficiency Anemia First, it is important to distinguish between chronic infection and acute infection. When discussing chronic conditions, there is a commonality between these issues and the occurrence of anemia. [fergon.com]
Anemia of chronic disease occurs as part of a chronic inflammatory disorder, most often chronic infection, autoimmune disease (especially RA), kidney disease, or cancer; however, the same process appears to begin acutely during virtually any infection [merckmanuals.com]
Anemia of inflammation, also known as anemia of chronic disease, develops as a result of a long-term infection or disease. Usually, it does not cause severe anemia. [medbroadcast.com]
The primary objective of treatment is to ensure a rapid and complete elimination of the Plasmodium parasite from the patient’s blood in order to prevent progression of uncomplicated malaria to severe disease or death, and to chronic infection that leads [hemocue.com]
Anemia of chronic disease Other names Anemia of chronic inflammation, Anemia of chronic disease, is a form of anemia seen in chronic infection, chronic immune activation, and malignancy. [en.wikipedia.org]
- Pallor
Some of the most common symptoms are: General feeling of tiredness or weakness (fatigue) Lack of energy Pale skin (pallor) Dizziness Headaches Other signs and symptoms that may develop as the anemia becomes more severe include a feeling of cold or numbness [labtestsonline.org]
Respiratoric
- Pneumonia
Other organisms cause hemolytic anemia by producing a hemolysin (e.g., Clostridium perfringens ), by stimulating an immune response (e.g., Mycoplasma pneumoniae ), by enhancing macrophage recognition and hemophagocytosis, or by as yet unknown mechanisms [mhmedical.com]
If you have a serious infection, such as pneumonia, breathing will be even harder. Infection during cancer treatment can be very serious (even life threatening). Contact your doctor immediately if you have a temperature or other signs of infection. [cancerresearchuk.org]
pneumonia (see Chap. 56) may occasionally result in hemolytic anemia57,58 or compensated hemolysis, although most patients with high cold agglutinin titers do not become anemic. [medtextfree.wordpress.com]

Treatment for iron deficiency anaemia Once the reason you have anaemia has been found – for example, an ulcer or heavy periods – your GP will recommend treatment. [nhs.uk]
Leg ulcers can be painful, and patients can be given strong pain medicine. Management of leg ulcers could also include the use of cultured skin grafts. This treatment is provided in specialized centers. [cdc.gov]
For example, if a stomach ulcer is causing anemia because of bleeding then the anemia can be cured if the ulcer is treated and the bleeding stops. [emedicinehealth.com]
Aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can also lead to stomach ulcers and chronic intestinal bleeding. For women, menstruation is another risk factor for blood loss. [news-medical.net]

- Normocytic Anemia
Anemia of chronic disease should be suspected in patients with microcytic or normocytic anemia who also have chronic illness, infection, inflammation, or cancer. [merckmanuals.com]
If the red blood cells size are normal in size (but low in number), this is called normocytic anemia, such as anemia that accompanies chronic disease or anemia related to kidney disease. [emedicinehealth.com]
- Ferritin Increased
Serum iron and percentage saturation of transferrin decreased, whereas serum ferritin increased significantly. Mean cell volume, iron-binding capacity, protoporphyrin, and haptoglobin did not show changes. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
