Forty boys [3.62%] were found to be iron deficient by measuring their hemoglobin, red cell indices, complete blood count, serum iron, TIBC and ferritin estimations. Their peripheral blood smears showed hypochromic microcytic picture. The prevalence of iron deficiency was found as follows: 27% at Al-Mansour Street, 22% Sharaya, 18% Outaibia, 13% Nowariah, and 10% each in Sh. Al-Haj & Mesfelah.
