“…The overall prevalence of patients with non-visualised spleens in our study was 47.2%. This is similar to previous reports from Northern Nigeria (32%-36%) [22,23] and Sudan (47.8%) [24], but contrasts with the lower rates reported from South-East (23%-33%) [25][26][27] and South-West Nigeria (0%-11%) [14,28,29], and among patients with SCD in the Democratic Republic of Congo (6.7%) [30]. The frequency of non-visualised spleens in our study was also similar to those reported in patients with SCD in Turkey (42.9%) [31] and the United States (35.7%) [32].…”
