haemoglobin (Hbs and Hbc). It is an inherited disease. About 20% of Africans
are carriers of Hbs gene and about 6% Hbc gene.
The
proportion of children born with the disease is estimated to be 2-3%. In this
disease, the structure abnormality of the hemoglobin causes functional
defects. All the signs and symptoms are due to the formation of abnormal

Crisis are among the most characteristic features of the disease. These are

The onset, duration, severity and termination of these painful episodic

bacteria or viral infections, cold dehydration or exertion. These episodic
problems usually become less frequent as the child grows older. Thank God
