Fatal 1918 Pneumonia Case Complicated by Erythrocyte Sickling
To the Editor:
The year 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of Herrick?s original case description of what is now known as sickle cell anemia (1). Additional case reports followed in 1911 and 1915; in 1922, Mason described a fourth case and coined the term sickle cell anemia (2). In 1949, Pauling et al. published an important study that identified differences in the electrophoretic mobilities of normal and sickled erythrocytes (3). The inheritance pattern of sickle cell anemia was determined in 1949; in 1957, Ingram identified the single amino acid change in hemoglobin S (4).
