Abstract
Erythrocyte survival studies, using the method of differential hemagglutination on
capillary blood samples, are easily performed in infants and children. Withdrawal
of blood for survival study from children with a variety of hematologic disorders
is not attended by any distress or untoward sequellae for the patient when immediate
replacement is made as indicated.
Subjects of small size are particularly suitable as recipients of tagged erythrocytes
since small transfusions yield relatively high donor cell counts. The results obtained
with normal subjects and with subjects with sickle cell anemia and congenital hemolytic
icterus conform to those of previous workers and form the basis for the interpretation
of original observations in a variety of hemolytic disorders in childhood.
