heal.abstract	Thalassemia seems to be the most common genetic disorder. The pathophysiologic mechanisms for lung impairment is not clear. Lung function tests in children showed small airway obstruction and restrictive lung changes. Forty-two patients, 22 females and 20 males, aged from 17 to 36 years old, with homozygous β-thalassemia were examined in a lung function laboratory. All patients received chelation therapy	en
