Pulmonary hypertension in sickle-cell disease: comorbidities and echocardiographic findings.

abstract：:Patients with sickle cell disease have an increased tendency to develop frequent and severe pyogenic infections. Lymphocyte subpopulations were studied in 14 patients with homozygous sickle cell anaemia (SCA) using the OKT monoclonal antibody. The mean absolute lymphocyte counts observed in patients with SCA were simi...
