Mangalore, May 11: It is necessary to create awareness on the ‘thalassemia’ disease caused due to lack of red blood corpuscles in children, said Dr Santhosh Soans, children’s specialist, speaking at a press conference here on Sunday May 10.

The press conference was organized by Cipla Company as part of the ‘World Thalassemia Day’.

Around a hundred thousand children in the world fall prey to thalassemia disease every year. In India, the figure has gone up to 10,000 children per year, he said.

In Dakshina Kannada, the number of children getting afflicted by this disease is comparably less. Still, some cases in Sullia and Beltangady are being diagnosed with this defect, said Soans.

Regular and repeated blood transfusion of the thalassemia-affected persons happens to be the only preliminary treatment presently available for the disease, he explained.
