A 23-month-old girl presented with heart failure from extremely severe sickle cell anemia. The family refused blood transfusion on religious grounds (Jehovah's Witness). Alternative options acceptable to this religion, such as iron, erythropoietin, or folic acid were rejected as useless in the particular situation of the child. The patient was transfused with Hemopure, a product that consists of polymerized bovine hemoglobin. This is the first case reported in the literature of a child transfused, in an emergency situation, with this product.
一名23个月大的女孩因极其严重的镰状细胞贫血出现心力衰竭。其家人出于宗教原因（耶和华见证会）拒绝输血。该宗教可接受的其他选择，如铁、促红细胞生成素或叶酸，在该患儿的特殊情况下被认为无用而被拒绝。该患者接受了Hemopure输血，Hemopure是一种由聚合牛血红蛋白组成的产品。这是文献中报道的首例在紧急情况下使用该产品为儿童输血的病例。
