Abstract

Changes in the erythron system in acute pneumonia in children occurring against the background of iron deficiency anemia of varying degrees determine the severity of the underlying disease. Using phase-contrast microscopy, morphological changes in erythrocytes, life expectancy, average size and its functional state were studied, which confirm the relationship between the severity and clinical course of the disease. Identification of common pathogenetic mechanisms of the formation of these pathological conditions allows us to optimize the ongoing treatment.
