Background & Aim: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by inadequate production of cortisol and aldosterone and accumulation of androgens. Beta thalassemia is an autosomal recessive condition caused by defective beta-globin resulting in accumulation of unbound alpha globin chains leading to ineffective erythropoiesis. We are reporting an unusual case of CAH due to 21-hydroxy...
