title: [Cooley's syndrome in a Togolese nursing infant. Clinical and biological considerations].
abstract: Several possible diagnoses are proposed to explain the symptomatology observed in a slightly jaundiced 10 month-old suckling infant suffering from fever and anaemia. Major beta-thalassaemia in its most severe form (Cooley's syndrome) proved to be the correct diagnosis. The importance of family background is stressed for these haemolytic cases.
