Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An enlarged spleen, or splenomegaly, can be a complication of sickle cell disease, making option D the correct choice. Acute gastroenteritis (option A) would not necessarily cause an enlarged spleen. Asthma (option B) can cause chest tightness and wheezing, but typically not an enlarged spleen. An umbilical hernia (option C) does not typically involve the spleen.
