Abstract: The relation between hematological parameters and the presence of oral red and white mucosal lesions among non-tobacco-using adults diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia is of interest. Hematological parameters, including hemoglobin, serum ferritin, MCV, MCH and RDW, were recorded. Clinical oral examinations identified red (erythroplakia, atrophic glossitis) and white lesions (oral candidiasis, leukoplakia-like patches and angularcheilitis). There was a significant association between iron-deficiency anemia and specific oral mucosal lesions among non-tobacco-using adults. Screening for oral manifestations can aid in early diagnosis and intervention in anemic patients.
