Abstract
Anemia is highly prevalent in children in malaria-endemic areas. However, it is difficult to distinguish between IDA and ACD in affected populations. In this issue of Blood, Atkinson and colleagues identify SNPs in the TNF alpha gene that are associated with an increased risk of developing IDA during the malaria season.
