Özet

Thalasscmia-hemoglobin K disease is described in a 6 years old girl of Eli-Turks. The patient displayed a moderately severe form of the disease and had an associated infection of brucellosis. The genetic studies revealed that the father had classical thalassemia minor and the mother was a carrier for hemoglobin E. Three siblings were found to be heterozygous for hemoglobin E, one for thalassemia and one was normal. This is the first report of thalasscmia-hemoglobin E disease in Eti-Turks and the second from Turkey. © 1965 S. Karger AG, Basel.
