Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies hematology parameters in children with sickle cell anemia, suggesting hydroxyurea relates to transfusion frequency.

Key Points

  • A high mean white blood cell count was significantly associated with disease severity in children.
  • The study involved 110 children with steady-state sickle cell anemia, revealing gender and age differences in hematology parameters.
  • Samples were analyzed using a hematology auto analyzer and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for fetal hemoglobin assessment.
  • The findings underscore the potential role of hydroxyurea in managing sickle cell anemia, with calls for multicenter studies.
