Thalassemia Intermedia Patients
Patients with Beta Thalassemia Intermedia treated at the Pediatric Hematology Unit. The characterization of Thalassemia Intermedia was based on age at diagnosis (Older than 2 ys) and / or clinical characteristics that are milder than Thalassemia Major in patients homozygous for beta globin genes.
