T and B lymphocytes were estimated in 25 patients with Thalassemia major to evaluate their immune status. The percentage of T cells was significantly reduced (p < 0.001) while that of B cells was significantly raised (p < 0.001) in patients of thalassemia major as compared to age and sex matched controls.
