title: [Case contribution to the study of hemoglobin C disease].
abstract: Haemoglobin-C disease represents a haemoglobinopathy seldom occurring in our latitudes. In its homocygotic form it coincides with haemolytic anaemia and splenomegaly. The diagnosis of haemoglobin-C disease could be ensured in a 33 years old Yugoslav patient who had been treated because of being suspected of a venous thrombosis of the spleen. The knowledge of this disease taking prognostically a benign course seems to be important in order to prevent patients from unnescessary diagnostic and therapeutic measures.
