  • Title: Management of sickle cell anemia in children.
    Author: Dover GJ.
    Journal: Md Med J; 1990 Apr; 39(4):371-5. PubMed ID: 2333023.
    Abstract:
    Approximately 1 in 500 black American births results in children who have sickle cell (SS) disease; they are rarely symptomatic until 6 months of age. The mortality rate of SS in children under age 12 is between 10 and 15 percent. Half this mortality occurs before age 2, and most is due to overwhelming infections.
