Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension is a survival-limiting complication in adults with homozygous sickle cell disease (SS), but little is known about the development, course, or best treatment of pulmonary hypertension in children with SS. We report the clinical course and treatment of a child with SS-associated, hemolysis-driven pulmonary hypertension.
