X-linked alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome (ATR-X), which was first reported by Wilkie, et al. in 1991, is a disorder with severe mental retardation, characteristic facial appearance, genital abnormalities, and mild form of alpha-thalassemia. At present, about 50 cases have been reported
OBJECTIVE
Effective and convenient iron chelation remains one of the main targets of clinical management of thalassemia major. The combined treatment with desferrioxamine and deferiprone could have an increased chelation efficacy and sometimes allow drug doses and toxicity to be reduced and the
Patients with thalassemia major requiring regular blood transfusions accumulate iron that is toxic to the heart, liver, and endocrine systems. The following prospective, randomized trial was carried out to determine the effectiveness, in children and young adults, of combined deferiprone (DFP) and
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy and adverse effects of oral chelation therapy (deferasirox) in multi-transfused β-thalassemia major patients visiting pediatric thalassemia clinic in Civil Hospital Karachi.
METHODS
This prospective study was conducted at pediatric thalassemia clinic of Civil

β-thalassemia major patients are susceptible to Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection owing to life-long dependency for blood-transfusion. Moreover, this patient population is at risk of progression of liver fibrosis or development of cirrhosis as a consequence of both iron overload and HCV
Vibrio vulnificus is a halophilic Vibrio that has been isolated repeatedly from sea-water and shellfish during the warm months of the year. It's a virulent pathogen for men and is frequently associated with overwhelming infections including sepsis, gangrene of extremities and high mortality rate. We
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is rarely seen in patients with thalassemia. A seven-year-old male, known case of beta-thalassemia major, on irregular packed cell transfusions (elsewhere) and non-compliant with chelation therapy, presented with congestive cardiac failure (Hb-3 gm/dl). He received
The Authors describe a rare case of Yersinia Enterocolitica (Y.E.) infection in a child affected by thalassemia. The onset of the disease was that of an acute enteritis with diarrhea, fever, vomiting and abdominal pain which subsequently evolved in a picture consistent with an acute appendicitis.
UNASSIGNED
Due to the chronic nature of chelation therapy and the adverse consequences of iron overload, patient adherence to therapy is an important issue. Jadenu ® is a new oral formulation of deferasirox (Exjade ®) tablets for oral suspension. While Exjade® is a dispersible tablet that must be
OBJECTIVE
To assess efficacy and safety of oral iron chelating agent deferiprone (DFP) in patients with beta thalassemia and hemoglobin E-beta thalassemia.
METHODS
Non-randomized study.
METHODS
Hematology Out-Patient Department.
METHODS
Forty-one patients of beta thalassemia and hemoglobin E-beta
Deferiprone, also known as L1, is an orally active iron chelator that has been studied extensively in clinical trials. The sporadic occurrence of agranulocytosis in association with deferiprone and the highly variable frequency of other possible side effects such as arthralgia have created
X-linked alpha thalassemia mental retardation (ATR-X) syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder that often involves gastrointestinal symptoms. Aspiration pneumonia related to gastroesophageal reflux has been reported as the major cause of death, but gastrointestinal function has not been well
Vitamin B(12) or cobalamin deficiency, a rare clinical entity in pediatric age, is found most exclusively in breastfed infants, whose mothers are strictly vegetarian non-supplemented or with pernicious anaemia. In this article, the authors describe a 10-month-old infant admitted for vomiting,
The history and physical examination skills are being replaced by the tools of technology in establishing the actual cause of illness. We present a patient where the history and physical examination were essential in establishing the diagnosis. A 28-year-old female presented to the Emergency
