We performed pulmonary function testing in 20 infants (11 male and 9 female; ages 3-30 months) with sickle cell disease to assess whether abnormal lung function develops early in life. Respiratory system compliance (C rs ) and resistance (R rs ) were measured by the passive occlusion technique, func
