Serum folate and vitamin B12 levels in children from Mozambique.
In order to investigate the behaviour of biochemical parameters in children from Mozambique, we have determined the serum levels of folic acid and vitamin B12, two well known markers of nutritional anemia. We have correlated their values with other blood parameters and have evidenced potential interesting relationship between folate content and platelets count.
