Abstract 1. A case of sickle cell anemia who had numerous hemolytic crises and also hypersplenic effects such as pancytopenia was treated by splenectomy with marked improvement in general condition and in the blood. The literature relating to this subject is reviewed. Those cases with the largest spleens appear to have shown the most striking degrees of improvement. 2. In cases of sickle cell anemia showing various indications of hypersplenism, and excessive hemolysis, splenectomy may be a rational therapeutic procedure.

A number of hematologic disorders share diagnostic and clinical features of sickle cell anemia but have significantly different genetic implications and prognosis. Because of these differences, the establishment of a precise diagnosis is essential for the child in whom any form of sickle cell disease is identified. To illustrate the requirements for a definitive laboratory diagnosis of sickle cell anemia, this report presents the approach to establishing this diagnosis in two white American patients. From a review of the literature, these patients appear to be the only white Americans with sickle cell anemia in whom this diagnosis has been unequivocally established.
