Hello Everyone,
I am French but currently living in China. I had recently a blood examination in the hospital and they diagnostic me as having Mediteranean Disease.
Since they were not able to give me more explanation of the disease I would like to get more information. Does any of you know a website or person to contact in order to get more technical information on it ?
Thanks for your reply.
Also if any of you know how the diagnostic is done. I saw my blood test result showing RSA 56% but I have absolutly no idea on the meaning. If someone can help me ?
Best Regards
Laurent
