All 107,694 children with sickle cell disease hospitalized in France from January 2007 to December 2019 were included. Patients had a median age of 9 years and 52% were boys.

Serum opsonizing activity for the pneumococcus was studied with a phagocytic test using normal peripheral leukocytes incubated in normal serum and in serum from patients with sickle-cell disease.
