Abstract

Thalassemias and Hb E are highly prevalent in Thailand. Anemia is also common among the Thai population with an incidence varying between 30–80%, depending upon the area. We now report preliminary results from a population survey, conducted in Phetchaburi between September 1985 and October 1986, to determine the incidence of hemoglobinopathies and anemia.
