What Causes Chest/abdominal Pain And Fever While Having Blood Disorder?

I have a question for my chem class I just can't figure out...A thirteen-year-old girl, who is underdeveloped and thin, has a blood disorder. She frequently experiences chest and abdominal pain, fever, and coughing, and has trouble breathing. Her teachers often spend additional time with her, explaining concepts that the rest of the class is familiar with, as she tires very easily and is able to concentrate only for short spans of time.

Hi welcome to HCM
The girl is most likely suffering from Sickle cell crisis.This is a disorder in which low oxygenationation levels lead to change in red blood cells to sickle shape and auto destruction.HB Electrphoresis is the investigation of choice.Hydroxy urea is the treatment of choice.In refractory cases Bone marrow transplantation is helpful.
Thankyou
