Infections Identified in Pediatric Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance that is characterized by sickle-shaped red blood cells. It is the most common type of hemoglobinopathy and is the result of a mutation in the β-globin chain gene that results in creating sickle hemoglobin (HbS) instead of the normal adult hemoglobin (HbA).

Significant Hemolysis Not Required for Thrombosis in PNH
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare hematological condition, presents with hemolytic or thrombotic symptoms. Cumulative thrombosis incidence in PNH over an eight to ten-year period is 23% to 30%, 20% of patients have multi-site thrombosis and 10% present with thrombosis. More...19 Mar 2019
Peripheral Blood Flow Cytometry Classifies Pediatric Acute Leukemia
Historically, flow cytometry performed on the bone marrow aspirate (BMFC) has been the standard for the immunophenotypic characterization of acute leukemia. Recent data have demonstrated the high sensitivity and specificity of peripheral blood flow cytometry for the diagnosis of pediatric leukemia. More...25 Feb 2019
