All children with Sickle Cell Disease, living in Northern Va. and their families are invited. When a child has a temperature, it means that there is an infection. A child with Sickle Cell Disease is more susceptible to infection than a child without this illness.
Infection is the primary cause of death in young children with sickle cell disease.
