Background: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the commonest nutritional deficiency complicating pregnancy in India, and its coexistence with sickle cell trait(SCT),a haemoglobinopathy with carrier prevalence of up to 10-30% in tribal central Indiais an underexplored high-risk scenario in which iron therapy has traditionally been approached with caution. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in antenatal women with SCT and moderate to severe IDA in the second trimester.
