title: [Changes in hematologic parameters in 120 Somalian subjects].
abstract: We have studied in Somali subjects (120), compared with 120 Caucasus subjects the hemoglobin, the hematocrit, the number of red cells, the MCV, the MCH and MCHC. The results demonstrate that in Somali subjects have significant reduction of all parameters, and the reasons of those blood disorders in this tropical country must be associated with the scourges of poverty and malnutrition.
