Abstract

A 29-year-old Hungarian woman was found to be double heterozygote for Hb O Arab and beta-thalassaemia. Haemolytic anaemia became manifest during her second pregnancy. In the course of genetic studies G-6-PD deficiency was also detected in the family. The patient originates from a North-Eastern part of Hungary which had been hydrogeologically isolated during past centuries.
