Since anaemia of varying degree is a quite common finding in heterozygous beta-thalassaemia, a research was done to see if beta-thalassaemia heterozygotes occupationally exposed to long-term continuous external radiation should be more susceptible to haematopoietic damage than non thalassaemic subjects. We examined peripheral haematological findings of 20 beta-thalassaemia heterozygotes previously exposed to a mean of 10.7 mSv, compared with 22 non thalassaemic subjects exposed to 6 mSv, and with 50 not exposed beta-thalassaemia heterozygotes. The obtained results suggest that whole-body external irradiation--with the mean doses reported--does not cause noteworthy changes in beta-thalassaemia heterozygotes.
由于不同程度的贫血在杂合子β地中海贫血中是相当常见的表现，因此开展了一项研究，以观察职业性长期持续暴露于外照射的β地中海贫血杂合子是否比非地中海贫血受试者更容易受到造血损伤。我们检查了20名先前平均暴露于10.7毫希沃特的β地中海贫血杂合子的外周血液学检查结果，并与22名暴露于6毫希沃特的非地中海贫血受试者以及50名未暴露的β地中海贫血杂合子进行比较。所得结果表明，以报告的平均剂量进行全身外照射不会在β地中海贫血杂合子中引起显著变化。
