  • Title: Life-threatening complications in a child with hemoglobin SD-Los Angeles disease.
    Author: Kelleher JF, Park JO, Kim HC, Schroeder WA.
    Journal: Hemoglobin; 1984; 8(3):203-13. PubMed ID: 6547933.
    Abstract:
    Hemoglobin SD-Los Angeles is an uncommon sickle hemoglobinopathy. We describe a boy with documented Hb SD-Los Angeles who had experienced acute splenic sequestration, pneumococcal sepsis, aplastic crisis and functional asplenia during his first two years of life. We suggest that children with Hb SD-Los Angeles are at similar risks for the life-threatening complications which characterize sickle cell anemia and should receive the same comprehensive medical care currently recommended for children with Hb SS disease.
