Abstract
SummaryUsing SINGER'S test of haemoglobin alkali denaturation we have examined:1. 61 non anaemic infants aged between 5 days and 2 years and found a foetal type of haemoglobin up to the 19th month of age.2. 12 patients with Cooley's anaemia. The values of resistant haemoglobin were above 50 % in cases that had not received a transfusion previously. These values are much higher than those found by SINGER in similar eases.3. 13 patients with sickle cell anaemia. The values of resistant haemoglobin fell between 5–19.5 % coinciding with those found in negro patients.4. 2 cases of Kala‐Azar. The haemoglobin was found to be of the normal type.
