ABSTRACT
Iron deficiency anaemia was detected in 23% of cases with homozygous sickle cell disease. The aetiology of iron deficiency was similar to the other population in the community. High serum ferritin level was detected in 15.4% of the cases and was well correlated to the number of transfusions. Tissue haemosiderosis was not detected in any case. Patients with heterozygous sickle cell had either normal or low serum ferritin levels.
