It affects about 1 out of every 5,000 people but mostly African Americans. Since it basically has the body producing useless blood cells, it works the same on anyone who gets it.

Why are are people with the sickle cell trait able to resist malaria?

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic diseases that causes red blood cells to be shaped like sickles while normal red blood cells are shaped more like a cylinder. Malaria works by going into the red blood cells until they burst. Because of the strange shape of the red blood cells in people who have sickle cell anemia, malaria can't enter in the cells that have the sickle trait, but it can enter in the others. This way, people with sickle cell wouldn't be as adversely effected then those without it.


Can anemia lower your ability to fight off infections?

Anemia affects red blood cells usually, and doesn't always lower the immune system response but aplastic anemia (a.k.a bone marrow failure) causes the body to produce less red blood cells, WHITE blood cells, and platelets. Therefore, I believe, anemia can lower your ability to fight off infections (if the amount of white blood cell production is lowered). the above answer is true but people with sickle-cell anemia have a greater resistance to malaria. Also aplastic anemia patients have just as much troube as fighting a VIRUS as any other person.


Can white people get sickle cell anemia?

1.It is particularly common among people whose ancestors come from sub-Saharan Africa; Spanish-speaking regions (South America, Cuba, Central America); Saudi Arabia; India; and Mediterranean countries such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy. In the Unites States, it affects around 72,000 people, most of whose ancestors come from Africa. The disease occurs in about 1 in every 500 African-American births and 1 in every 1000 to 1400 Hispanic-American births. About 2 million Americans, or 1 in 12 African Americans, carry the sickle cell trait. The below text is partially incorrect: According to pubmed (a government run medical website) only 2 white people have been diagnosed with sickle cell. It was caused by a random mutation in their genes. For a white person to get sickle cell they must have a 1 in a trillion genetic mutation because there is no genetic history of sickle cell in white people. No genetic history of sickle cell means that it can not be inherited, it can only come from a mutation. Black people have much higher odds of having sickle cell because there is a genetic history of sickle cell in Africans. This means that it can be inherited from the parents. Sickle cell originated in three independent blood lines in Africa and one blood line in India 70,000-150,000 years ago. If you have sickle cell it means you are a descendent of one of these blood lines. 2. i am white and having sickle cell trait and alot off people around me having sickle cell disease
