Transfusion and alloimmunization in sickle cell disease. The Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease

TL;DR: Patients with sickle cell disease who had been transfused were more frequently alloimmunized than men; this was largely due to the fact that women received more transfusions than men, but in the age group 16 to 20 years the increase may have been due in part to alloIMmunization owing to pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
