Abstract
Clinical and laboratory data for three patients are presented. Electrophoretic separation of the freshly obtained haemolysate showed a fast beta-chain fraction on each occasion. This is typical of Hb H disease. The test for erythrocyte inclusion bodies was also positive. The main clinical and haematological features of the disease are illustrated.
