Description:
A no longer commonly used term for heterozygous thalassaemia. It is an intermediate form of thalassaemia characterized by microcythaemia, haemolytic jaundice with decreased red cell fragility, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly. It is a heredofamilial constitutional disorder that has been observed most frequently in Italians, but also in other residents of the Northern Mediterranean coast. Scattered cases, occurring perhaps through heredity and migration, have been reported in various parts of the world.
