title: Haemoglobin electrophoresis in diagnosing a case of sickle cell anaemia associated with β-thalassemia.
abstract: Alkaline haemoglobin electrophoresis is a useful tool in diagnosing β-thalassemia and sickle-cell anaemia. In this report, using this simple technique, β-thalassemia associated with sickle-cell anaemia is diagnosed. This is the first case we have diagnosed in our laboratory using agarose gel electrophoresis.
