CLASSIFIED INTO TWO MAJOR GROUPS
1. THALASSEMIAS
Quantitative deficiencies in the production
of globin chains
2. HEMOGLOBINS DISORDER
Structural abnormalities of globin chains

Treatment

-Thalassemia
-thalassemia major :
severe anemia
Blood film
- pronounced variation in red cell size and shape
- pale (hypochromic) red cells
- target cells
- basophillic stippling
- nucleated red cells
- moderately raised reticulocyte count
infants are well at birth but develop anemia in first
few months of life when switch occurs from to
globin chains
progressive splenomegaly; iron loading; proneness to
infection

PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS
If mother suffered thalassemia
DNA analysis by CVS (chorion vilus
sampling) at 9-12th week of gestation
PCR rapid detection of mutation

Treatment
red cell transfusion : PRC, neocyte
infective complication
- viral hepatitis
- Yersinia infection
splenectomy
chelation theraphy : desferrioxamine
if serum ferritin 1500 g or got
transfusion 10-20 x
Dose of desferrioxamine :20-40 mg/kgBW
