Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetically inherited blood disorder characterized by the presence of sickled red blood cells (caused by a single mutation) that can get stuck in capillaries and cause clots.

Viral infections (including influenza and COVID-19) can lead to complications in people with SCD.
