Disease
FACTS:
- Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited condition
- One in twelve African Americans is a carrier of Sickle Cell Disease
- Sickle Cell affects the genes that produce hemoglobin for red blood cells.
- Sickle Cell Disease is also found in individuals from Turkey, Greece, Italy the Middle East and East India
SIGNS OF SICKLE CELL

- Aplastic Crisis - Sickle Cell may stop making red blood cells for a short time causing fast breathing, fast heart beat and less activity.
- Painful Episodes - This happens when the Sickle Cells plug blood vessels blocking the flow of blood
- Severe Infections - Such as sepsis (a blood stream infection) meningitis and pneumonia. Because the spleen does not function normally
