Abstract
A family is presented in which the proposita, affected with thalassaemia major, developed a chronic leg ulcer at the age of 14 yr. Her eldest brother, not affected with thalassaemia, had a transient leg ulcer at the age of 18 yr and a 2nd brother, affected with thalassaemia minor, developed leg ulcers when aged 15 yr. All 3 siblings were G-6-P dehydrogenase deficient.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
