Abstract

Hemoglobin Lepore is one of the rare structural variations of hemoglobin (Hb) that arises from unequal crossing over between the δ and β globin genes. Hb Lepore heterozygous is clinically similar to people with mild thalassemia. Here we reported a 32-years-old male febrile patient diagnosed incidentally as a rare haemoglobin Lepore trait.
