    Abstract:
    A four-year-old boy admitted for fever and a skin rash was diagnosed as having a rickettsial infection. Regenerative microcytic anemia and enlargement of the spleen were also found. Hemoglobin electrophoresis and a family study disclosed a combination of two heterozygous hemoglobinopathies, i.e., HbO Arab and beta-thalassemia. A male sibling had the same anomalies as the index patient and was free of symptoms.
