Oral health management considerations for patients with sickle cell disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) can affect many systems in the body including the oral cavity. This necessitates modifications in oral health care management of these patients. The purpose of this paper is to make recommendations for management of SCD patients according to their oral health care needs based on the known findings. (Source: Disease a Month)

Sickle cell disease; An overview of systemic and oral effects
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited red blood cell (RBC) disorder caused by the presence of an abnormal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S (HbS) or sickle hemoglobin. It is the most prevalent genetic blood disorder worldwide.1,2 The two major characteristics are chronic hemolytic anemia and intermittent vaso-occlusion that results in tissue ischemia and causes acute, severe pain episodes. SCD is a chronic disease that has detrimental effects on the entire body and requires a multidisciplinary team for management. (Source: Disease a Month)

Tick borne illness —Lyme disease
Lyme disease is the most commonly reported tick-borneillness in the United States. Thecausative spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi is transmitted by 4 species of Ixodes tick species. Over 90% of US cases occur in northeasternstates from Maine to Virginia, and in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. Infection also takes place in northern California and Oregon. Lyme borreliosis is also diagnosed in parts of Europe, China, and Japan. The white-footed mouse is the primary animal reservoir for B. burgdorferi in the U.S. (Source: Disease a Month)

Sickle cell disease: An overview of orofacial and dental manifestations
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive hematological disorder that results in defective red blood cells (RBCs). These RBCs become sickled in shape, have a shortened lifespan leading to vascular occlusion and ischemia resulting in damaging effect on many organs throughout the body. There are numerous oral manifestations of SCD, although some may not be specific to SCD, it is important to recognize these clinical presentations and have a good understanding of the disease process to help in management of SCD from an oral health care perspective.
