title: Analysis of hematological data of thalassemia cases in Thailand.
abstract: We analyzed the complete blood count (CBC) obtained from patients with various types of thalassemia in Thailand. As a control, samples from healthy donors and patients with iron deficiency anemia were also collected. Most cases of thalassemia could be differentiated from iron deficiency anemia by using a discrimination function equation. This screening method is applicable for mass-screening of patients with latent thalassemia in Thailand.
