Abstract

Hemoglobinopathiesare monogenic disorders of erythrocyte production. We present an observational study of 200 anaemic patients at a tertiary health care center presented over two years (January 2015 to December 2016). Sickle-thalassemia was the most common form of haemoglobinopathy (56.4%), followed by β-thalassemia carrier (16.6%), Sickle cell trait (15.3%) β-thalassemia (10.2%), & Sickle cell disease (1.28%), respectively. Almost equal incidence in male and female were found. The maximum number of cases came to attention in the age group of 6-15 years followed by those in the age group of 16-30 years.

KeywordsHaemoglobinopathy; Sickle Thalassemia; β-Thalassemia; β-Thalassemia Carrier.
