About 130 babies are born in California each year with sickle cell disease, according to Mary Brown, president of the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation of California. High-level cephalosporin resistance was described in the 1990s in healthy children from Tennessee, but its prevalence in sickle cell disease patients is unknown. Researchers from the University of California, Davis, have found that children with sickle cell disease who were exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) at home had more than twice as many episodes of pain (known as "crises") as sickle cell patients who were not exposed. |
