Abstract
ln 181 cases of sickle cell anaemia (Hbs.S) bacterial throat flora was studied. The commonest organisms' isolated in all age groups were alphahaemolytic streptococci of the viridans group (93.90/o) and neisseria-like species t82.3%). The pattern of bacterial flora in these patients does not differ from that of non sickle cell anaemia patients.
