  • Title: [Hemoglobinopathies and erythrocyte enzyme deficiencies in Switzerland: laboratory diagnoses of the last 10 years].
    Author: Marti HR, Fischer S, Killer D.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1987 Jun 27; 117(26):981-3. PubMed ID: 3616590.
    Abstract:
    In 26,224 blood samples sent to the laboratory in the last 10 years, abnormal haemoglobins were present in 565 samples and 5579 cases of thalassaemia have been diagnosed. With routine testing a red cell enzyme deficiency was found in 722 samples. Laboratory tests for delta beta-thalassaemia, alpha-thalassaemia and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency had been requested only for a minority of the detected cases. It is obvious that many physicians are not familiar with these disorders.
