Abstract

This article, the second in a series of four on sickle cell disease and beta thalassaemia, focuses on nursing assessment and care and management issues for people with clinically significant sickle cell disease. This includes how to manage infection and pain, which are the most common clinical problems associated with sickle cell disease, accounting for more than 90% of acute hospital admissions.
