The hand-foot syndrome in sickle-cell haemoglobinopathy.

The hand-foot syndrome is a benign self-limiting condition seen in young children with sickle-cell haemoglobinopathy, usually at the time of a crisis. The authors have observed 36 cases among 4920 patients. The features and management of the condition are discussed and the published literature is reviewed.
