Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Acute chest syndrome. PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles) The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine. Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

This article really needs a few more links and more precise terminology.

What is a "lung infection"? Does that refer to something as simple as a common cold, or does it refer to something more serious? And I can guess what a "vasoocclusive crisis" is, but it would be helpful to have a link to something that would give me more information - it is not helpful to define something in terms as complex as the original term.
