Department of Pediatric Hematology, Children's Medical Center, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, China.
Rationale: This study presents a case of hemoglobin M disease (HMD), a rare inherited disorder characterized by persistent cyanosis and hypoxemia, observed across 3 generations within a single family.

Notably, there is a scarcity of reports on methemoglobinemia in pediatric populations, which further complicates early detection and intervention.

This study examines the relationship between asymptomatic malaria infection and hemoglobin levels in Benin.
Methods: A cohort in Benin was enrolled and categorized into three age groups (under 5 years, 5-15 years, and over 15 years) for follow-up from August to November 2021.
