Abstract
Compound heterozygosity for bS/bD results in a severe hemolytic anemia and a clinical syndrome similar to that of sickle cell disease. Here, we report a case of HbSD Punjab disease. A 10 year old female child residing at Nagpur, Maharashtra presented with severe hemolytic anemia, hepatosplenomegaly and occasional pains in bones and abdomen. Initially, she was thought to be a case of sickle cell anemia, however, with the help of HPLC and molecular analysis it was confirmed as HbSD Punjab disease.
