Abstract: Anemia is a common symptom in children and has many different causes. Among the etiologies, improper nutrition is the most common reason for anemia in children. However, the severity of nutritional anemia is usually mild to moderate. We report a case of a 56-month-old female child admitted to the hospital with severe anemia with a blood hemoglobin concentration of 35 g/L, and the cause of the anemia was nutritional deficiency. We hope that this case will provide more information for pediatric clinicians when investigating possible causes of severe anemia in children.
