| description | Anemia, a globally widespread condition, shows a high prevalence in developing countries, particularly in high-risk groups, with children under five years of age being among the most affected. Lack of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can lead to deterioration in cognitive abilities and delays in child development. Objetivo: To investigate and determine the prevalence of anemia in children under five years of age treated at Health Center No. 3. Metodología: This was a descriptive and quantitative study. The analysis included a sample of 251 children and was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the Ministry of Public Health (MSP). Resultados: The results revealed that 51% of the children had mild iron deficiency anemia, 47% had moderate iron deficiency anemia, and 2% had severe iron deficiency anemia. Regarding treatment, 49.3% of cases of mild anemia received polymaltose iron, 46.7% received ferrous sulfate, and 4% received no treatment. In cases of moderate anemia, 49.4% received polymaltose iron, 46.15% received ferrous sulfate, and 4.39% were not treated. For severe anemia, 66.6% received polymaltose iron and 33.4% received ferrous sulfate; all cases of severe anemia received treatment. Conclusión: Approximately 2 in 10 children with mild anemia and 1 in 10 with moderate anemia did not receive the recommended treatment. This emphasizes the importance of improving care and access to appropriate treatments to ensure healthy development in children affected by this condition. |

La anemia, una condición globalmente extendida, muestra una alta prevalencia en países en desarrollo, particularmente en grupos de alto riesgo, siendo los niños menores de cinco años uno de los más afectados. La carencia de un diagnóstico temprano y un tratamiento apropiado puede conllevar al deterioro de las habilidades cognitivas y retrasos en el desarrollo infantil. Objetivo: Investigar y determinar la prevalencia de la anemia en niños menores de cinco años atendidos en el Centro de Salud No. 3. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo y cuantitativo. Este análisis incluyó una muestra de 251 niños, y se rigió por las directrices del Ministerio de Salud Pública (MSP). Resultados: Los resultados revelaron que el 51% presentaba anemia ferropénica leve, el 47% anemia ferropénica moderada, y el 2% anemia ferropénica severa. En cuanto al tratamiento, el 49,3% de los casos de anemia leve recibió hierro polimaltosado, el 46,7% sulfato ferroso, y un 4% no recibió tratamiento. En los casos de anemia moderada, el 49,4% recibió hierro polimaltosado, el 46,15% sulfato ferroso, y el 4,39% no fue tratado. En relación a los casos de anemia severa, el 66,6% recibió hierro polimaltosado, y el 33,4% tratamiento con sulfato ferroso; todos los casos de anemia severa recibieron tratamiento. Conclusión: aproximadamente 2 de cada 10 niños con anemia leve y 1 de cada 10 con anemia moderada no recibieron el tratamiento recomendado, lo que enfatiza la importancia de mejorar la atención y el acceso a tratamientos adecuados en estos casos para asegurar un desarrollo saludable en los niños afectados por esta condición.
