Overview
Majority of patients with anemia of prematurity are either asymptomatic or develop vague and non-specific symptoms. They usually present with pallor and lethargy. Decreased activity, breathing difficulties, feeding difficulties, and difficulty in gaining weight are common symptoms. Less common symptoms are tachycardia, heart murmurs, and metabolic acidosis.
History
History of patients with anemia of prematurity includes preterm birth and blood loss due to phlebotomy for laboratory tests.[1][2]
