Thalassemia intermedia encompasses a wide clinical spectrum of beta-thalassemia phenotypes. Some thalassemia intermedia patients are asymptomatic until adult life, whereas others are symptomatic from as young as 2 years of age. A number of clinical complications commonly associated with thalassemia intermedia are rarely seen in thalassemia major, including extramedullary hematopoiesis, leg ulce...
Thalassemia intermedia is a clinical definition applied to patients whose clinical phenotype is milder than that of thalassemia major. Criteria used to define thalassemia intermedia including age at presentation, hemoglobin or fetal hemoglobin levels and transfusion independence, are unsatisfactory. The possibility of typing the molecular defect allows a retrospective analysis of patients and o...
BACKGROUND Heart disease is the main cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with beta thalassemia, rendering its early diagnosis vital. We studied and compared echocardiographic findings in patients with beta thalassemia major, patients with beta thalassemia intermedia, and a control group. METHODS Eighty asymptomatic patients with thalassemia major and 22 asymptomatic cases with thalas...
Advances in treatment of thalassemia have led to the aging of thalassemic patients, and consequently concern about successful reproductive outcome is augmented. Although women with thalassemia intermedia only were considered competent of achieving pregnancy, case series reveal the willingness of both thalassemia major and thalassemia intermedia women to have a family. Pregnancy in general is ch...
Effect of iron overload on endocrinopathies in patients with beta-thalassaemia major and intermedia.
INTRODUCTION Iron overload is a major problem in patients with b-thalassemia major, and it has many structural and metabolic consequences. In this study, we aimed to consider the prevalence of endocrine abnormalities in patients with β-thalassemia major and thalassemia intermedia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We ordered following tests for consideration endocrine abnormalities: fasting plasma glucos...
a, fi, and ‘i globin chain synthesis in bone marrow and peripheral blood reticulocytes were studied in two patients with thalassemia major, two with thalassemia intermedia, one with thaIassemia minor, one with Hb H disease, and one with homozygous f38-thalassemia. Nine nonthalassemic patients served as controls. In thalassemia major, a marked imbalance of ato fichain synthesis was found in the ...
Thalassemia is the most common hemoglobin disorder in the world and thalassemia major and intermedia stand among the most severe forms. Due to recent improvements in treatment, patients with thalassemia have longer life expectancies; hence it is of utmost importance to pay careful attention to their quality of life together with life expectancy. This study was conducted to assess the quality of...
Introduction. Patients with β-thalassemia intermedia have a higher incidence of thromboembolic events compared to the general population. Previous studies have shown that patients with sickle cell disease, who are also prone to ischemic events, have higher intracranial arterial blood flow velocities measured by transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD). The aim of this study is to evaluate intracra...
Thalassemia is a congenital hemolytic anemia prevalent in Asian and Mediterranean races. The homozygous state results in thalassemia major or Cooley's anemia, and such patients are transfusion-dependent. A less severe syndrome, thalassemia intermedia, may be due to compound heterozygosity for /3-thalassemia and /3 variant (e.g., hemoglobin E [HbE]) genes and is characterized by anemia, jaundice...
Thalassemia intermedia (TI), also known as nontransfusion dependent thalassemia (NTDT), is a type of thalassemia where affected patients do not require lifelong regular transfusions for survival but may require occasional or even frequent transfusions in certain clinical settings and for defined periods of time. NTDT encompasses three distinct clinical forms: β-thalassemia intermedia (β-TI), Hb...
