Prevent Thalassaemia
|
Awareness programmes aimed at prevention of new thalassaemia
births are a must.
There are two main ways of achieving this:
1. Carrier Screening 2. Pre-natal detection
Prenatal Detection
If both partners are identified as Thalassaemia Minor, pre-natal diagnosis
should be availed with Hematologist specialising in these tests, called CHORIONIC
VILLAS SAMPLING (CVS) normally done between 10-12 weeks of pregnancy. Another option
is AMNIOCENTESION normally done between 1 -1 weeks of pregnancy.
