...Stefano Cutillo; Tullio Meloni The serum levels of haptoglobin (Hp) and hemopexin (Hx) have been investigated in favism and thalassemia. In 25 children with favism, Hp was absent in 22 and both Hp and Hx in 7 cases. In 45 children with Cooley’s anemia, Hp was absent in 13 and Hx in 37 cases. In 25...

... antibodies to fava beans by passive haemagglutination tests. 75 patients affected by acute favism were studied by this method. Haemagglutination tests were positive in 5 patients (6.6%) at the onset of the haemolytic crisis but a rapid fall of the titres was observed in the subsequent days, β 1 c/ β 1A...

.... The highest percentage of hemolytic crises was due to fresh fava beans (94.4%). No cases of favism were observed in breast-fed babies whose mothers had eaten fava beans or from pollen inhalation. The male sex proved to be the hardest hit. Hemoglobin values were lower than or equal to 7 g/dl in about 75...
