1. The document discusses the management of medically compromised children with red blood cell disorders and anemia. 2. Key points include that anemia is always a manifestation of disease or nutritional deficiency, and any child found to have anemia requires follow up by the pediatric dentist. 3. Dental treatment for children with anemia should be scheduled shortly after blood transfusions, and the dentist should avoid drugs that may alter platelet function and consult with a hematologist.
