The goal of investigation: study the features of physical development of girls with в-thalassemia in puberty. 
 

Clinical matherials and methods. Were examined 69 girls with b-thalassemia in the puberty. Was confirmed that among the examined girls 63 (91.3%) had great form of b-thalassemia, 5 (7.2%) – intermediate form of b-thalassemia and 1 (1.4%) –small form of в-thalassemia 
 

Findings. Study of physical development inclided determination of body mass, high indicators, circumference of the chest, span, shoulder width, length of the legs. Also external pelviometry was conducted. All patients were conducted determination of hemodynamic parameters. It was found out that girls with в-thalassemia in puberty had delay in physical development. 
 

Couclusion. Girls with b-thalassemia had delay of physical development of puberty. 
 

Key words: b-thalassemia, puberty, delay in physical development.
