Foetal haemoglobin and disease severity in sickle cell anaemia patients in Kampala, Uganda

BACKGROUND: Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is a major chronic health problem in Uganda. In patients with SCA, the level of foetal haemoglobin (HbF) has been found to be important in influencing the clinical course of the disease. Thus populations with high levels of HbF like those in Saudi Arabia have be...
