Zusammenfassung:Despite the high prevalence of neonatal anemia in Côte d'Ivoire, complete blood counts and iron studies have not been adequately explored. The authors studied complete blood counts (from peripheral blood mononuclear cells), hemoglobin electrophoresis results, and serum iron, ferritin and transferrin levels in 40 newborns and their mothers. The neonatal results (mean +/- SD) were: hemoglobin: 14.96 +/- 2.24 g/dl; serum iron: 16.88 +/- 7.29 micromol/l; total iron-binding capacity (TIBC): 39.88 +/- 14.85 micromol/l; transferrin: 2 +/- 0.65 g/l; ferritin: 116.20 +/- 105.25 microg/l; and hemoglobin electrophoresis: 22.5% of infants showed some hemoglobinopathy (FAC, FAS, FSA(2)). Maternal serum iron levels were positively correlated with the newborns' TIBC (r = 0.362, p
