  • Title: Hydroxyurea in Sickle Cell Disease and Invasive Bacterial Infections: A Case-Control Study.
    Author: Pascault A, Koehl B, Brousse V, Benkerrou M, Gaschignard J.
    Journal: J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc; 2024 Sep 26; 13(9):493-495. PubMed ID: 38970408.
    Abstract:
    Hydroxyurea decreases painful events among children with sickle cell disease (SCD) but could increase the risk of infections in treated patients through leucopenia. We performed a case-control study, comparing hydroxyurea treatment for SCD in cases with an invasive bacterial infection and in controls without infection. No difference was found.
