A member asked:
Will a child who has mild hereditary spherocytosis automatically go into aplastic anemia crisis if he gets parvovirus? will some kids avoid it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually are okay: Whether it's trivial illness or will require transfusion depends on the severity of both processes. Splenectomy in these patients is a personal choice. Aerobic fitness is important to me so I'd do it, but the infection risk is something to consider. Junior can help decide when he's older.
