Reviewer 3 Report

Thanks for sharing such a well written and informative study. However, I made few suggestions to further improve the general knowledge of the study.

1. In line 51: There should be a citation at the end of the symptoms of SCD.

2. In line 53: Could the authors state the possible new medical conditions that SCD children might develop? I will suggest citing this study based in Africa (Nigeria)which is endemic for SCD; Opara, N.U.; Osuala, E.C.; Nwagbara, U.I.
