Abstract excerpt

Anhaptoglobinemia in the tropics has long been considered as a genetic phenomenon (Allison et al 1968; Sulton et al 1959). However, between 1963 and 1968, several other workers found a close relationship between anhaptoglobinemia and hemolytic diseases, thus bringing to question the genetic hypothesis which had earlier existed. The object of our study was to verify the following in a area that was endemic both...
