Background: More than 40 mathematical indices have been proposed in the hematological
literature for discriminating between iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia trait in subjects …

Purpose Anemia is one of the most common disorders affecting the population in both low-
income and developing countries. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of anemia …

Materials and Methods: In total, 50 children with β-TT, 31 with α-TT, 50 with IDA were
included. For the 8 erythrocyte indices and formulas (red blood cells [RBC], red blood cell …

Background: Many discriminant formulas have been reported for distinguishing thalassemia
trait from iron deficiency in patients with microcytic anemia. Independent verification of …

Background: Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disease. It occurs due to abnormalities
in hemoglobin synthesis, causes the imbalance of globin production. Identification of …

BACKGROUND: The mutation spectrums of hemoglobinopathy are different among
populations that yield a different result of erythrocyte indices. Calculation of erythrocyte …

Background. Red cell microcytosis is a common abnormality detected in a full blood count,
which often prompts clinicians to investigate further for a cause. In the absence of iron …

Beta Thalassemia Trait (BTT) is the most common haemoglobinopathy worldwide. High
Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is the technique of choice for diagnosis …

Objective: This study was carried out to determine the diagnostic accuracy of Green and
King Index which based upon simple hematological parameters is thus cheap and easily …
