Update on Microcytic Anaemias
Diagnosing a microcytic anaemia is relatively straightforward; yet identifying the aetiology may prove difficult. In this webcast, Dr. Photis Beris and Dr. Achille Iolascon will discuss new forms of inherited and acquired microcytic anaemias, including DMT1 disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, and others. Join them to learn the pathophysiology, clinical picture, and diagnostic features of these lesser-known causes of iron-deficiency anaemias.
