Objective: Penicillin prophylaxis is important in the defence against invasive pneumococcal disease in sickle cell disease (SCD). Penicillin may be administered by the oral route or by the intramuscular (IM) route. Compliance with the oral route, although difficult to assess, has been reported to be highly variable and often poor. We sought to determine the compliance rate with intramuscular penicillin (IM) prophylaxis in children with sickle cell disease. Methods: Children followed at the Sickle Cell Unit in Jamaica were recruited. Good compliance was deemed if patients received at least 10 injections over the preceding 12-months. Children on IM prophylaxis for less than a 12-month period were deemed to be compliant if they received ...
