Abstract

Hemoglobinopathies constitute a good number of percentage of cases causing hemolytic anaemia. Hemoglobin is a tetramer consisting of 2 globin chains. Any defect is these chains cause abnormal hemoglobin synthesis. We hereby report a rare case of compound Sickle Beta Thalassemia with high fetal Hemoglobin. The high percentage of Hb F makes it even a more rare case which has not been reported in literature so far.
