Sickling can be produced in the blood of young Negro babies with sickle-cell trait. The percentage of cells showing this change is low but will increase as the infant matures. The homozygous state is present from birth; however, recognition of the symptomatic condition is rare in infants under the age of 4 months.

The electrocardiogram in sickle-cell anemia
American Heart Journal, 1955Abstract 1. 1. Sixty random patients with a hematologic diagnosis of sickle-cell anemia have been studied for clinical and electrocardiographic evidence of heart disease. 2. 2. The various types of electrocardiographic abnormalities have been discussed and compared with those found in the literature.

Hypersplenism in Sickle Cell Anemia
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1964Although splenomegaly in children with sickle cell anemia is common, massive enlargement associated with thrombocytopenia and very severe anemia is rare. In such patients, splenectomy has been followed by increase in platelet count and hemoglobin concentration. This suggests that an acquired hypersplenism aggravated the hemolytic process.

The Treatment of Sickle Cell Anemia
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1974"Sickle cell crisis" is a diagnosis made by exclusion, and infection must be ruled out as a cause of symptoms whenever a patient becomes acutely ill. Partial exchange transfusion is an important therapeutic tool, for it seems to interrupt "the vicious cycle of sickling" in some instances and forestall it in others.

Sickle Cell Anemia and Hearing
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1980The present investigation examined the effects of sickle cell anemia on threshold hearing. The study included 43 homozygous sickle cell anemia patients, ages 7–18 years, and 23 age-matched controls with documented normal hemoglobin. Both the study and control groups received otologic and audiologic examinations.

The Inheritance of Sickle Cell Anemia
Science, 1949IF A DROP OF BLOOD is collected from each member of a randomly assembled series of American Negroes and sealed under a cover slip with vaseline, to be observed at intervals up to 72 hours, in the case of about 8 percent of the individuals composing the series a high proportion of the erythrocytes will be observed to assume various bizarre oat, sickle ...

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1963
Four patients presenting unusual manifestations of sickle cell anemia were studied. Clinical variants were age, habitus, and pregnancy. In some cases, these features were so atypical as to suggest disease entities other than sickle cell anemia and obscure the diagnosis.

Sickle Cell Anemia and Pregnancy
Postgraduate Medicine, 1952A study was made of 18 cases of sickle cell anemia, 4 of which were complicated by pregnancy. These 4 cases are reported in detail, including the postmortem findings for one of them. The frequency of the various symptoms of sickle cell anemia and a summary of the cases complicated by pregnancy are presented in tabulated form.

Cholecystectomy in Sickle Cell Anemia
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1989Sir.—In the July 1988 issue ofAJDC, Malone and Werlin1reported the resuits of preoperative transfusion before elective cholecystectomy at the time of diagnosis of cholelithiasis in children with sickle cell anemia. Our own practice supports the conclusions of this study. From 1976 to 1988, 240 children have been seen at the sickle cell clinic.

Splenectomy in Sickle Cell Anemia
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1970Sickle cell anemia is a severe hemolytic disease caused by a congenital hemoglobin defect for which there is no treatment. Clinical management of patients with the disorder is purely symptomatic, and a "hands off" policy regarding transfusion is best.
