Hematological parameters and red blood cell indices in healthy Thai children: a revision for 2005.

In order to provide a reference range for hematological parameters and red blood cells indices in Thai children, we analyzed data from 395 healthy non-anemic Thai children age from 1-16 years old, who all had normal pattern of hemoglobin typing (Hb A and Hb A2 less than 3.5%). Hematological analysis was performed using an automated cell counter and the hemoglobin studies were carried out by electrophoresis and liquid chromatography.
