Abstract

The Southern Medical Journal and its editorial board are pleased to feature the important clinical topic of sickle cell disease (SCD) in this special issue. In addition, I appreciate the leadership of the guest editors, Dr Rosalyn Stewart of the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Dr Deniz Peker of the Department of Pathology, Hematopathology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, in their development of the special issue. The guest authors all are experts in various aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of SCD and have provided excellent articles across the wide spectrum of the disease.
