PREDISPOSING FACTORS TO INFECTIONS IN THALASSEMIA SYNDROME PATIENTS
This study highlights the strong link between iron overload, chelation, and risk of infection in thalassemia patients. Effective management, including proper chelation therapy and monitoring ferritin levels, is critical for reducing infections and improving outcomes. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings and guide future management strategies.
