Question

Describe why patients with sickle cell disease at risk for bacterial infections, especially with encapsulated bacteria autosplenectomy

Answer 1

Well sicle cell animia, is a disorder in the blood cells, when the cells are shaped like a bannana or an old sicle people are at risk of blood clots cuz their blood can't flow through veins very well, and also infection if you think the cells aren't as big as the regular blood cells. These are more suspectable (spelling ?) To infection because they dont follow nature of the rest of them and blood can go through out the body and spread and pick up diffrent dieses.

Idk if this helped this is how my instructor taught t to me so GL. :)
