ABSTRACT
Panduroga is an illness that can be the nearest comparison with Anaemia, is often found in Asian subcontinent, most of the time due to Nutritional deficiency. Even though the incidence of the sickness is in both genders, however females are majorly affected. World Health Organization statistics show that the developing countries have got per capita income of their population below poverty line. They cannot afford fresh, green foliate vegetables, cereals, milk, fruit's etc. Even most women couldn't get proper nutrient food throughout their physiological state and after-ward because of illiteracy, poorness and lack of proper understanding regarding sickness. Even though they suffer with the fatigue and lack of enthusiasm, they cannot correlate their conditions to the under lying cause of anaemia. Rather most of the population with the undiagnosed Anaemia will be living as “Walking Well” as quoted by Dr. Steve Gundray1 . Other than clinical presentations and complaints, most dependable criteria for the diagnosis of the Anemia is the Complete Blood Count (CBC). But whether the clinical features of Pandu match with the results of the Complete Blood count? Is the question of this study. So, an observational pilot study was taken up to evaluate and analyze the correlation between the classical features of Pandu Roga and the results found in the hematological test of CBC. The results are interesting and surprising. Keywords: Pandu, Anemia, Ayurveda, Blood Indices, Complete Blood Count
