Abstract

Hereditary spherocytosis is the most frequent type of chronic haemolytic anaemia, usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. We present in this paper a case report of a child diagnosed with hereditary spherocytosis in the neonatal period. The diagnosis was made in the context of suggestive family history and typical presentation. The clinical course was outlined by numerous haemolytic crises which required repeated blood transfusions.
