Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. The hospital check-up said it's a blood issue. What does it mean if a newborn tests positive for thalassemia?Doctor's answer:
Newborn with positive thalassemia, it is possible that the child inherited thalassemia from the previous generation. Additionally, we cannot rule out the possibility of a false positive result, so if you are not confident, you can have another test performed. A genetic test can be conducted to confirm the presence of thalassemia. If thalassemia occurs, it may require treatment if it is severe to prevent the disease from worsening and to help control the condition.
