There are few detailed etiologic studies of severe anemia in children from malaria-endemic areas and none in those countries with holoendemic transmission of multiple Plasmodium species. We examined associates of severe anemia in 143 well-characterized Papua New Guinean (PNG) children aged 0.5–10 years with hemoglobin concentration <50 g/L (median [inter-quartile range] 39 g/L) and 120 matched healthy children (113 [107–119] g/L) in a case-control cross-sectional study. A range of socio-demographic, behavioural, anthropometric, clinical and laboratory (including genetic) variables were incorporated in multivariate models with severe anemia as dependent variable. Consistent with a likely trophic effect of chloroquine or amodiaquine on parvovirus B19 (B19V) replication, B19V PCR/IgM positivity had the highest odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 75.8 (15.4–526), followed by P. falciparum infection (19.4 (6.7–62.6)), vitamin A deficiency (13.5 (5.4–37.7)), body mass index-for-age z-score <2.0 (8.4 (2.7–27.0)) and incomplete vaccination (2.94 (1.3–7.2)). P. vivax infection was inversely associated (0.12 (0.02–0.47), reflecting early acquisition of immunity and/or a lack of reticulocytes for parasite invasion. After imputation of missing data, iron deficiency was a weak positive predictor (6.4% of population attributable risk). These data show that severe anemia is multifactorial in PNG children, strongly associated with under-nutrition and certain common infections, and potentially preventable through vitamin A supplementation and improved nutrition, completion of vaccination schedules, and intermittent preventive antimalarial treatment using non-chloroquine/amodiaquine-based regimens. Severe anemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, and it is relatively common in developing countries. To establish the causes of severe anemia in a part of the world in which infection (especially malaria), malnutrition and genetic predisposition are prevalent, we studied children from Papua New Guinea who were hospitalized with severe anemia and healthy non-anemic community-based controls. Factors associated with severe anemia were parvovirus B19 infection, falciparum malaria, vitamin A deficiency, low body mass index for age and incomplete vaccination. Vivax malaria was inversely associated reflecting early acquisition of immunity or perhaps lack of circulating red blood cells for parasite invasion. Iron deficiency was only a weak positive predictor. These data show that severe anemia is multifactorial in Papua New Guinean children, strongly associated with under-nutrition and certain infections, and potentially preventable through vitamin A supplementation and improved nutrition, completion of vaccination schedules, and prevention or active treatment of malaria.
