Anaemia is a "democratic" illness in nature. Either from a lower socio-economic or from a higher socio-economic level it may impact someone. The reasons are surprisingly almost the same: malnutrition and an inadequate diet. Krimi is recognised since ancient times as an agent producing illness. Our classics do not include the extensive details of the pathology of each Crimi, but categorization, morphology, etc. Two large classes - Bahya and Abhyantara - are categorised as Krimi by Achariya Charaka. Abhyantara Krimi is diagnosed as Shleshmaja, Purishaja and Raktaja Krimi. Our classics contain occasional allusions to the connection between Krimi and Pandu, which has to be established. According to current research, ancylostomiasis is a recognised cause of anaemia, but research on other parasite diseases is being undertaken.
