Summary

Monitoring of the rheological effects of hydroxyurea (HU) on erythrocytes obtained from two patients with severe sickle cell anemia indicates that, in addition to its effect on the production of Hb F, HU has a salutary effect on whole cell deformability and on the hydration status of sickle ery Throcytes.
