Detailed explanation-1: -Examination of the blood of a person suspected of having anemia shows large, immature, nucleated erythrocytes without hemoglobin. Supplementing his diet with folic acid and cobalamin is likely to alleviate his symptoms.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘folic acid and cobalamine’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Complete blood count (CBC). A CBC is used to count the number of blood cells in a sample of your blood. For anemia, your doctor will likely be interested in the levels of the red blood cells contained in your blood (hematocrit) and the hemoglobin in your blood.
Detailed explanation-4: -Iron in combination with folic acid also has a beneficial impact on anemia at term and should be routinely used in pregnant women at least in developing countries to reduce the incidence of anemia due to increased demands during pregnancy.
Detailed explanation-5: -Adequate examination of the blood cells requires that a thin film of blood be spread on a glass slide, stained with a special blood stain (Wright stain), and examined under the microscope.
