  If the level of blue hemoglobin exceeds 5 g/dL in capillary blood, the clinical result is cyanosis, a bluish discoloration of skin and mucous membranes. [web2.iadfw.net]

  Several hemoglobinopathies, designated hemoglobin M variants, closely resemble methemoglobin but have slightly different absorption spectra.1 This group of hemoglobinopathies has an altered oxygen affinity that results in a cyanosis that is usually asymptomatic [zdoc.site]

• Flushing

  Normally it causes a mild illness with high temperature (fever), flushed cheeks and a rash. With SCD, the virus can upset the bone marrow, which then stops making blood for a while. [patient.info]

Treatments include blood transfusions and treatment to remove excess iron from the body. If you have mild symptoms or no symptoms, you may not need treatment. In some severe cases, you may need a bone marrow transplant. [icdlist.com]

The prognosis of homozygous Hb C disease is excellent. An individual may inherit a Hb S gene from one parent and a Hb C gene from the other. The result of this double whammy is Hb SC disease. [web2.iadfw.net]
