Five cases of hereditary spherocytosis in Nigerians are discussed. The clinical presentation and haematological abnormalities are similar to those described in other parts of the world. In one patient family studies were negative. The series does not permit a gene frequency estimate for the country but the cases came from widely separated area, suggesting that no ethnic group has more predilection than others. Splenectomy was uniformly successful.
本文讨论了五例尼日利亚人的遗传性球形红细胞增多症。临床表现和血液学异常与世界其他地区所描述的相似。在一名患者中，家族研究结果为阴性。该系列病例无法估算该国的基因频率，但这些病例来自相距甚远的地区，这表明没有哪个种族比其他种族更易患病。脾切除术均获成功。
