title: [Test tube technique for field diagnosis of hemoglobin S (author's transl)].
abstract: Laboratory diagnosis of sickle-cell anemia requires expensive equipment often too sophisticated for rural dispensaries. Therefore haemoglobin precipitation in solutions of neutral salts appears to be a specific and reliable test, as valid as Emmel test, and easily performed during mass campaigns or within the technical and financial limitation of rural medicine.
