RESUMO

The incidence of megaloblastic anaemia in pregnancy and the puerperium in north Staffordshire has steadily declined as a result of prophylaxis with folic acid. In the presence of advanced folic acid deficiency and with a florid megaloblastic marrow, the anaemia is usually severe, but in many patients the disease is relatively mild and the degree of anaemia is determined more by blood loss or associated iron deficiency than by the megaloblastosis.
