Care for Haemoglobinopathy Patients in Slovakia.

CONCLUSIONS: The study showed that there is a higher number of heterozygotes for beta-thalassaemia and rarely haemoglobinopathies in Slovakia. Over the past years, we have recorded an increase number of foreigners coming to our country. It is necessary to continue in search of pathological gene carriers to avoid serious forms of haemoglobinopathies. PMID: 28399358 [PubMed - in process]
