Q101 – 102: Infection

Questions 101: Does the recipient have a history of clinically significant bacterial bloodstream infection?

Bloodstream infections (BSI) are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in people with sickle cell disease (SCD). In children with SCD, BSI are most often caused by encapsulated organisms. Indicate Yes or No if the recipient has a history of clinically significant bacterial bloodstream infection (BSI)

Questions 102: Does the recipient have a history of clinically significant bacterial bone infection?

Patients with SCD are at an increased risk for orthopedic manifestations such as osteomyelitis. Usually, osteomyelitis affects the diaphysis of long bones, such as the femur and humerus, but it is possible for any other bone to be affected. Indicate Yes or No if the recipient has a history of clinically significant bacterial bone infection.
