Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemias are chronic hemolytic diseases that may induce three types of acute accidents: severe anemia, severe bacterial infections, and ischemic vasoocclusive accidents (VOA) caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells obstructing small blood vessels and capillaries. Many diverse complications can occur.

The patients with lymphadenopathy were distinguished from other HT sickle-cell anemia patients by immunologic abnormalities that included decreased percentages of T4+ lymphocytes, decreased T helper/suppressor ratios, and decreased lymphocyte responses to mitogen.
