In some cases, genetic testing may be required to definitively diagnose thalassemia and assess the need for genetic counseling, particularly in populations with a high prevalence of inherited blood disorders.22 The Role of Complementary Diagnostic Methods The diagnosis of maternal anemia, particularly distinguishing between iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and thalassemia trait (TT), can be complex due to the overlap in clinical presentation and laboratory findings. keywords: anemia; deficiency; ida; index; iron; mentzer; obeagu; thalassemia; trait cache: asodahs-108.pdf plain text: asodahs-108.txt item: #12 of 117 id: asodahs-11 author: Jain, Monika ; Jain, Anushree ; Khare, Basant ; Jain, Deepak Kumar ; Khan, Rubeena ; Jain, Dolly title: An Update on the Recent Emergence of Candida auris date: 2022 words: 5564 flesch: 45 summary: C. auris is emerging multidrug-resistant yeast that causes serious invasive infections with high mortality.
