[1st cases of alpha-thalassemia in Algeria: 12 cases of hemoglobinosis H].
These first cases of hemoglobinosis H show that alpha-thalassemia is not a simple curiosity in this part of the Western Mediterranean. They are not localised to a single part of Algeria as the areas from which the patients came were more than 150 km apart. They suggest that the enquiry should be continued by other means to determine the prevalence and pathological incidence.
