RESPIRATORY INFECTION 
Respiratory infection is more common in patient with asthma (infection like pneumonia, acute respiratory disease...)




POOR HYGIENE AND LOW ECONOMICAL STATUS

    IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA

    IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA  Normally red cell of our blood carry oxygen from lungs to the required site hence in tissue low oxygen level lead to hypoxia of that tissue.There are 400 different types of anemia i-e Iron deficiency anemia,Aplastic anemia,Pernicious anemia,Macrocytic megaloblastic anemia,thalaseemia,sickle cell anemia....
