Alpha thalassemia among sickle cell anaemia patients in Kampala, Uganda

28 May 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Sickle cell anaemia is prevalent in sub Saharan Africa. While α+-thalassaemia is known to modulate sickle cell anaemia, its magnitude and significance in Uganda have hitherto not been described. OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of α+thalassaemia among sickle cell anaemia patients in Mulago Hospital and to describe the clinical and laboratory findings in these patients. METHODS: A cross...
