[Current problems in diagnosis and screening of thalassemia (author's transl)]. 1978

G Masera, and A Cantù Rajnoldi, and M Ferrari, and M Travi

The diagnosis of different forms of thalassemia, considering the genetic variant giving different hematological pattern, is discussed. The laboratory tests useful for this diagnosis and mainly the most recent techniques are particularly considered for their specificity and convenience. The problems of screening with special consideration for health education, laboratory tests and different social and psychological aspects are treated.

D000747 Anemia, Hypochromic Anemia characterized by a decrease in the ratio of the weight of hemoglobin to the volume of the erythrocyte, i.e., the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration is less than normal. The individual cells contain less hemoglobin than they could have under optimal conditions. Hypochromic anemia may be caused by iron deficiency from a low iron intake, diminished iron absorption, or excessive iron loss. It can also be caused by infections or other diseases, therapeutic drugs, lead poisoning, and other conditions.
