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.
