AB The  thalassemias  are  a  group  of  chronic  microcytic  hemolytic  anemias,  and  the  most  common  hematological  genetic  disorder  affecting  more  than  200  million  people  worldwide.  Clinical  features  include  hepatosplenomegaly,  bone  deformations,  and  cardiac  failure.  Strict  asepsis  is  needed.  Heterous  carriers  (thalassemia  trait)  of  the  disease  appear  to  be  protected  against  Plasmodium  falciparum.
