چکیده
It is easier to diagnose alpha ( oc)-thalass-aemia in neonates, by detecting the presence of haemoglobin (Hb) Bart's because the procedure involved i,.e, haemoglobin electrophoresis for haemoglobin Bart's is inexpensive, rapid and reliable. A study was carried out to find the incidence of Hb, Barts in this part of the world. For this a random collection of cord blood each sample. In addition, estimation of Hb, PCV, RBC count, MCV, MCH and MCHC was done on suitable samples. In the present series three cases of alpha thalassaemia were diagnosed, making an overall prevalence of 0.94% (JPMA; 36: 285, 1986).

Screening for intermediate and severe forms of thalassaemia in discarded red blood cells: optimization and feasibility.
Detection and quantification of Hb subtypes of human blood is integral to presumptive identification of thalassaemias. It has been used in neonatal screening of thalassaemia and Hb variants. The use of discarded red blood cells following processing of the cord blood for stem cells provides readily available diagnostic material for thalassaemia screening. In this study, we determined the range o...
