Abstract

Concern has been raised on sickle cell disease (SCD) patients and the new viral infection with SARS‐COV‐2 since SCD patients are particularly prone to infectious diseases and acute chest syndrome (ACS). Although case reports have been published to describe COVID‐19 related ACS in adult patients (1–4), pediatric data are lacking.
