Beta-thalassaemia: Four cases at the mother and child centre of the Chantal Biya Foundation

Abstract

Beta thalassaemia is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases in the world. We present the clinical cases of four patients presenting with beta thalassaemia, of which only two cases confirmed. The aim of this case reports is to draw the clinician’s attention to the diagnosis of beta thalassaemia and to highlight the importance of a good interpretation of a haemoglobin electrophoresis and to clarify the difficulties in the management of beta thalassaemia in our context.
