anaemia Condition in which there is a shortage of haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying pigment contained in erythrocytes (red blood cells). Symptoms include weakness, pallor, breathlessness, faintness, palpitations, and lowered resistance to infection. It may be due to a decrease in the production of haemoglobin or red blood cells, excessive destruction of red blood cells, or blood loss. Worldwide, iron deficiency is the commonest cause of anaemia.
