Haematological profile of sickle cell anaemia and thalassaemia from central India

Bhaskar Urade

Anthropological Survey of India, India

he aim of the present study was to determine the

haematological profile of sickle cell anaemia (SCA) and

thalassaemia (β-Thal) from Central India. Both SCA and

β-Thal are a major public health in the world in general

and India in particular where about 42 million sickle cell

trait (SCT) and about 3.5 million β-Thal carriers live in

India with its predominance in central and southern India.

Haematological tests on 2769 premarital children aged 6-14

years comprising of 2224 controls, 438 carriers for SCA and

107 carriers for β-thalassaemia were performed. Low RBC,

MCV, Hb, RDW, MCH, and MCHC and high WBC, MPV, HCT,

and platelet dominate the haematological profile among

SCT and β-Thal carriers compared to normal children.

Slightly higher macrocytic cell morphology of sickle cell

anaemia was major concerned. The mean Hb level among

the carriers of sickle cell anaemia (12.82 ± 2.11 g/dl) was

adequate but for β-Thal (10.89 ± 1.89) it was considerably

low. Microcytosis and hypochromia seen by the low mean

values of mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean

corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) in the β-thalassaemia.
