Abstract
An example of micro-drepanocytic disease, arising from the inheritance of the thalassemic trait from the father and the sickle-trait from the mother was studied in an Arab girl. Her case was complicated by the presence of a megaloblastic anemia due to pregnancy and also by the development of an anti-body following blood transfusion. Splenectomy was tried, and a major symptomatic improvement was quickly in evidence.Keywords
