Abstract
THE persistence of fœtal hæmoglobin formation after infancy is usually taken to indicate an anæmic state existing from early life and is most commonly found in association with hereditary hæmoglobinopathies. Despite an extensive search among other types of anæmia only very slight increases have been found, with the exception of quite large amounts present in acute leukæmia in children1 and in adolescents2.
