Plain English
This study looked at 145 patients diagnosed with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) over 25 years. Researchers found that most patients experienced jaundice (67%), fever (66%), and weakness (45%). Nearly all patients (94.5%) had an enlarged spleen, and spherocytes, which are abnormal red blood cells, were present in all cases; interestingly, almost 87% of patients investigated elsewhere had missed these spherocytes. Removing the spleen improved symptoms for those who underwent surgery. Who this helps: Patients with hereditary spherocytosis.
