Herrick,1 in the first reported case of sickle cell anemia in 1910, observed: "Two days prior to examination he had 'taken cold,' his cough had grown worse and he had a slight chill, followed by fever." This association has been noted by other observers.2, 3To validate this clinical impression, we reviewed 23 consecutive admissions to our hospital of patients with sickle cell anemia in acute hemolytic crisis (table 1).
