The role of discriminant functions in screening beta thalassemia trait and iron deficiency anemia among laboratory samples
INTRODUCTION: Most important differential diagnosis for microcytosis and hypochromia is beta thalassemia trait (BTT) and iron deficiency anemia. AIM: To study the utility of discriminant functions (DFs) and red cell indices in distinguishing BTT and iron deficiency anemia. METH...
