| Abstract |
|
We experienced a case of hereditary spherocytosis patient who was in a recovery phase of aplastic
crisis at the time of presentation. This was a 7 years old boy with complaints of pallor and intermit-
tent abdominal pain. Asymptomatic jaundice was also found in the patient's grandfather and two
maternal uncles. Patient’s mother had splenectomy due to hereditary spherocytosis.
Diagnosis was made by morphology, osmotic fragility test, autohemolysis test of peripheral blood,
and bone marrow examination.
Splenectomy, as a choice of treatment, was done and remarkable symptomatic improvement was
achieved. |
