Background And Aim: Megaloblastic anemia (MA) is a rare pathology in childhood due, in the majority of cases, to a deficiency of folic acid and/or vitamin B12 (cobalamin). This study aims to determine the epidemiological, clinical, and paraclinical profiles of MA in children and to specify its etiologies, therapeutic modalities, and treatment responses.

Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study of MA cases in children carried out in the General Pediatrics Department of the Hedi Chaker University Hospital of Sfax over a period of 42 years, from January 1979 to December 2021.

The marine environment is one of the major biomass producers of algae and seaweed; it is rich in functional ingredients or active metabolites with valuable nutritional health effects. Algal metabolites derived from the cultivation of both microalgae and macroalgae may positively impact human health, offering physiological, pharmaceutical and nutritional benefits. Microalgae have been widely used as novel sources of bioactive substances.
