摘要
The efficacy and side effects of hydroxyurea in young children with sickle cell disease are unknown. The authors followed-up eight young children (mean age 3.7 years) during therapy with hydroxyurea for an average of 137 weeks. Total and fetal hemoglobin levels rose with hydroxyurea therapy. Hospital admission rates and total hospital days decreased during hydroxyurea therapy. No unexpected toxicity occurred, and growth and development were unaffected. This pilot study suggests that hydroxyurea is safe and effective in young children with sickle cell disease.
