Hereditary spherocytosis in our patient
At about the age of 28, the patient suddenly suffered
from jaundice although, until that time, he had been in
normal condition, with good tolerance of exercise. A
splenectomy was undertaken in 1992 because of spherocytosis,
with relief of the clinical signs and symptoms of
HS. HS was inherited from the patient’s mothers´s line
and presented in his daughter and her son.
