D-xylose absorption in B-thalassaemia major.

The cause of growth retardation seen in children with B-thalassaemia major is not fully understood. Neither the one-hour D-xylose absorption test nor jejunal biopsy support the suggestion of small bowel malabsorption as a contributory cause.

Neurological complications of beta-thalassaemia major.

Neurological complications in beta-thalassaemia major are uncommon, with cerebral ischaemic episodes related to severe anaemia or convulsions as the most usual manifestations. Two such cases of children of 6 and 8 years are reported. Cerebral venous infarction is advanced as the probable cause of the symptoms. Caution should be exercised in giving rapid, large blood transfusions to thalassaemic patients adapted to long-standing severe anaemia.
