Abstract: Globally anemia is a public health problem that affecting both the developing and the developed countries. Anemia is defined by a reduction in total amount of hemoglobin or red blood cells? number leading to the insufficient supply of oxygen to meet the physiologic needs of the body. The present study designed to identify Morphological patterns of anemia in females of reproductive age group and correlation with Red Cell Indices. A total of 500 anemic female patients of age 18 - 45 years attending OPD & IPD were included. Out of 500 cases, 80 were pregnant and 420 were non - pregnant females. Out of 420 non - pregnant anemic women; 32.6% were of microcytic hypochromic, followed by 31.2% of normocytic hypochromic, 27.1% of normocytic normochromic, 6.7% of dimorphic and 2.4 % of macrocytic normochromic anemia. Out of 80 pregnant anemic women; majority 35.0% were of microcytic hypochromic, followed by 32.5% of normocytic hypochromic, 22.5% of normocytic normochromic and 5.0% of each category of dimorphic and macrocytic anemia.
