Hereditary Spherocytosis
Huq, Sayeeda; Pietroni, Mark A.C.; Rahman, Hafizur & Alam, Mohammad Tariqul
Abstract
A 12-year old girl was brought to the Dhaka Hospital of ICDDR,B with diarrhoea. Incidentally, the parents
provided a history of repeated episodes of pallor and jaundice since she was two and half years old. Three
of her family members had similar problems. History, clinical examination, and laboratory findings of the
girl and her family members suggested a case of hereditary spherocytosis. To our knowledge, this is the first
report of such a case in Bangladesh.
