| Abstract: | Hematological and clinical features of 36 mainly Algerian patients with S-beta thalassemia are reported. These data, compared with those reported in the literature, showed a higher prevalence of aseptic necrosis and gall stones, probably related to the large predominance of S-beta zero-thalassemia (30 cases) and a long (14 years) median follow-up period. |
