Prevalence of atopy in a sickle-cell anemia population

L B Savoy et al. Ann Allergy. 1988 Aug.

Abstract

Contrary to reports in the literature, we found no statistical difference between the prevalence of atopic disorders (asthma, hayfever, and atopic dermatitis) in patients with sickle-cell anemia and their prevalence in nonsickle-cell reference populations. We examined this issue by determining the prevalence of atopy in a sickle-cell anemia population.
