dc.description.abstract	Serum zinc, copper and magnesium were studied in patients with sickle cell disease in the steady state. There was significantly lower scrum zinc concentration (P < 0.01) and significantly higher serum copper and magnesium in hemoglobin S patients compared with controls (HbA). In hemoglobin SC patients, there was a significant reduction in serum zinc (P< 0.01) but no significant difference in serum copper and magnesium concentrations compared with the controls. There was no significant difference in serum zinc concentration between the HbS and HbS+C patients. However, there were significantly higher scrum copper and magnesium in HbS than HbS+C patients (P < 0.01) The level of serum zinc has no correlation with the steady state Hematocrit or severity index score in HbS and HbS+C patients	en_US
