Is anyone familiar with sperocytosis? My daughter was diagnosed as soon as she was born. She had three blood transfusions her first 3 months of life and was fine until she was 2 1/2 years old.

She has required two additional trasfusions since she was diagnosed with JRA. Does anyone have any similar experiences?
