The word __ampersandsignlsquo;thalassemia__ampersandsignrsquo; is derived from the Greek word __ampersandsignlsquo;Thalassa__ampersandsignrsquo; which means the great sea. Clinical observations: Abdominal pain, fever (Temperature - 101?F), Anemia (Hb __ampersandsignndash; 6.4gm%). Diagnostic evaluation: Hb% __ampersandsignndash; 6.4gm%, Total RBC count __ampersandsignndash; 2.3 millions/cu.mm, RDW __ampersandsignndash; 18.2%, HCT __ampersandsignndash; 20.2%, Total WBC count __ampersandsignndash; 3200/cu.mm, Monocytes __ampersandsignndash; 02%, Granulocytes __ampersandsignndash; 20%, Lymphocytes __ampersandsignndash; 77%, AST(SGOT) __ampersandsignndash; 112 U/L. Peripheral Smear: RBC __ampersandsignndash; mild hypochromic with mild cystosis which show few microcytic and mildly hypochromic. Platelets __ampersandsignndash; Reduced on smear, APC __ampersandsignndash; 62,000 cells. Ultrasonography: Splenomegaly. Therapeutic interventions: Blood transfusion, Inj. Cefotaxime 750mg IV x BD, Syr. Azee 4ml x OD, Tab. Folic Acid 5mg x OD, Tab. Udiliv 150mg x BD, Cap. Hydra 500mg x OD, Tab. Prednisolone 10mg x BD.
