Childhood iron deficiency anemia is recognized as a global health problem. Current scientific information seems to indicate that the problem begins in the pregnant mother and materializes in the infant. What is important in iron deficiency anemia is the damage that could occur in the development of the central nervous system of the fetus and the infant. Programs for the diagnosis and treatment of anemia should focus in addition to what has already been established, to women of pre-pregnancy age, to the first months of gestation, and to the levels of hemoglobin and iron in the newborn.
The latest scientific work seems to show that an intervention in the third trimester of pregnancy or in the infant from the fourth month of age, could not correct previous neurological impairment.
