Last month’s query of a 6½ years old boy with hepatosplenomegaly, intermittent anemia, intermittent jaundice and negative hemolytic anemia work up had lot of answers. Most viewers have suggested Wilson’s disease, hereditary spherocytosis, G-6-PD deficiency, Kala azar etc. The authors have replied that his Wilson's workup was negative. Liver biopsy was inconclusive. His bone marrow and liver biopsy did not show any evidence of LD bodies ruling out KALA AZAR. Barium meal follow through also is normal. They will repeat his G-6-PD after 3 months to see if he is deficient.
