Cooleys Anemia Screenings Due for Connecticut Program
The Connecticut Health Department plans to screen 10 000 to 20 000 people for Cooley's Anemia in 1973 74 as part of the first state wide detection effort. The project uses two mobile labs funded by a $25 000 allocation and will engage community groups statewide. Cooley's Anemia is an inherited blood disease causing low hemoglobin and bone marrow damage, often fatal before age 20, common among Mediterranean descent, and treatable only by multiple blood transfusions.
