Totally 179 children aged from 6 months to 15 years from 2 villages Taja and Na Cang, Than Uyen district, Lao Cai province was investigated clinically and hematologically. Among them, 99 were boys and 80 girls. The results show that prevalance of anemia among these children was as high as 49.7%. 50 anemic from children 89 had hemoglobin disorder. All children with moderate and severe anemia had hemoglobin-diseases. From the result above we suggest that thalassemia and HbE are serious cause for anemia in children from the region. It is nesecery to establish the thalassemia prevention programme for this region.
