A mother in so much tears 😭and near a denial breakdown kept saying "it cannot be, I cannot be" after she was handed a positive sickle cell disease test for her 9 year old son.

With eyes almost tearing I had to explain a few things and help calm ther down, push for further tests, genetic counseling to confirm her doubts and help sooth both child and care mother,

These cases are quite few, but exist,
in most cases, where there is no premarital sickle cell trait screening, no new born sickle cell disease screening the disease can be missed.

So here is the science behind the mystery. 😇😇

In cases of overlapping symptoms of sickle cell disease, the health workers can keep mis-diagnosing the disease, treating the symptoms, this can be fatal.

In some cases the individual immune system of the child can be good enough especially if combined with good feeding,🍎healthy lifestyle can delay the onset of sickle cell disease too.

Then we have different types of sickle cell disease with some being more severe than the other.

My take on this,the best way to avoid living in suspense is "know your genotype and make health choices for better health out comes.

What's your take?
