This case control study was conducted in the out patient department (OPD), Enam Medical College & Hospital (EMCH), Dhaka, Bangladesh from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017. The aim of our study was to find the possible association between serum iron state and iron deficiency anemia with bronchial asthma in women. We investigated 40 diagnosed female cases of well controlled bronchial asthma and 20 healthy female as control. In both groups complete blood count (CBC) with peripheral smear was done, C-reactive protein (CRP), serum iron, serum ferritin, and serum total iron binding capacity (TIBC) was measured. We found asthma cases had lower hemoglobin than control (mean±SD 10.92±1.34 vs. 12.30±0.73, p value 0.013), serum iron and serum ferritin were significantly lower (p value 0.016 and 0.000 respectively) and TIBC was higher (p value 0.000) in asthmatic cases as compared to controls. Non anemic asthmatics showed significant lower serum ferritin compared with non-anemic healthy controls (p value 0.005). So we conclude that iron deficiency anemia is more prevalent in asthmatic women as compared to healthy controls.
