Sickle cell anemia cannot be passed on from one person to the other. It is not contagious. It can be only passed on from parents to children by birth.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a Dengue IgM - Elisa Test or Take a TLC Test (Total Leucocyte Count) Test

Book Dengue IgM - Elisa TestBook TLC Test (Total Leucocyte Count) Test
