Abstract

The occurrence of alpha-heavy chain disease in an Italian adult, working in Libya, is reported, characterized by a spontaneous clinical and immunological recovery. It is suggested that the patient could have acquired the disease during his stay in an endemic area of alpha-heavy chain disease, and that the observed spontaneous remission could be related to the removal of environmental pathogenic factors, following his departure from Libya.
