| Context |
Thalassemia was defined as a clinical entity in 1925 when Dr. Thomas B. Cooley and his associate Pearl Lee, pediatricians at the Detroit Children´s Hospital, presented a paper at the annual meeting of the American Pediatric Society describing five young children with severe anemia, splenomegaly, and peculiar bone abnormalities. At that time, children with severe anemia and splenomegaly were classified as having “Von Jaksch´s Anemia”.
