Bacterial infection is frequent in patients with sickle cell disease. Pneumococcal bacteremia is particularly severe in young children. The risk persists in adults, especially for nosocomial infections. Prevention is directed against pneumococcal disease and includes both vaccination and prophylactic antibiotics.
