Abstract excerpt

The total white blood cell count and total and differential neutrophil counts were compared in two hundred steady state sickle cell anaemia children and sixty age and sex matched AA genotype controls to establish steady state cell counts. Steady state patients were found to have significantly higher mean total white blood cell counts (T-WBC--12.4 +/- 3.0 x 10(9/1)), mean total polymorphonuclear neutrophil counts...
