Sickle cell beta-thalassaemia compared with sickle cell anaemia in Algeria. 1984

M Belhani, and L Morle, and J Godet, and D Bachir, and T Henni, and F Zerhouni, and A Bensenouci, and P Colonna

Clinical, haematological and biochemical features in 42 subjects with S-beta thalassaemia (31 subjects with S-beta thalassaemia and 11 subjects with S-beta+ thalassaemia); and in 42 with homozygous sickle cell disease were compared. Persistent splenomegaly was more common and painful crises less common in the S-beta thalassaemia group. Total Hb was higher and reticulocyte count lower in S-beta+ thalassaemia than in S-beta thalassaemia or SS disease. Microcytosis was marked in the S-beta thalassaemia group while the MCV was normal in sickle cell anaemia. Hb F was significantly higher in the S-beta thalassaemia group, without any influence on the severity of the disease. Many features suggest that sickle cell thalassaemia is more severe in Algeria than in Negro subjects and similar to the disease in Italian patients.
