[Hereditary elliptocytosis with detection of a membrane protein defect of erythrocytes].

Abstract

It is reported on a 33-year-old patient whose diagnosis "hereditary elliptocytosis" has been ensured by typical findings. References to a structural defect of erythrocyte membrane proteins resulted from the SDS-gel electrophoresis. A splenectomy improved the subjective and objective symptoms distinctly.
