title: [Studies of a family with hereditary elliptocytosis].
abstract: In a 35 years-old patient the diagnosis of anaemia with elliptocytosis was made, and the family of this patient studied. In 5 of total 16 probands elliptocytes in the peripheral blood were found. Only in one case there was a haemolytic anaemia with an enlarged spleen. Splenectomy led to clinical healing.
