Cyclic red blood cell destruction in thalassemia
Abstract
A retrospective analysis of time series of hemoglobin (Hb) destruction of 24 children (11 males and 13 females) with thalassemia from the age of 6 to 12 years showed that the Hb destruction rate typically oscillated with an average period of 50 days. A possible relation between the periodism and the severity of the disease is also suggested.
