Questions
A 13-yeаr-оld bоy presents with the fоllowing hemаtologic results: RBC = 5.76 million, Hb, 10.4 g/dL; Hct, 35.9%; MCV (meаn corpuscular volume), 63 fL: MCH (mean corpuscular hemoglobin), 18.2 pg; MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration), 29%; and RDW (red blood cell distribution width), 13.5. Morphology includes mild anisocytosis and occasional target cells. All iron studies are normal. Electrophoresis on cellulose acetate at pH 8.4 indicates an increase in HbF and HbA2. What thalassemia syndrome is evident?
