Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have thalassemia or some other disease like plastic anemia.  Blood group has no relation with any of them. She should go for He chromatography and if needed bone marrow examination to find the cause of her chronic anemia.  Then she should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
