Sickle-cell anaemia is a hereditary disease of the haemoglobin. In France it has become one of the main genetic diseases in terms of the number of people affected.
It is a rheological and vascular illness which combines chronic anaemia with various complications. Patients' lives are punctuated by painful crises and a variety of symptoms that often lead them to hospital emergency departments.
In the past 20 years much progress has been made both in treating the main complications of the illness (pain, acute anaemia, serious infections, acute chest syndrome, strokes, etc.) and in preventing them, thus improving patients' longevity and quality of life.
This book sets out to provide the latest information about sickle-cell anaemia, along with the clinical experience of teams working in various medical specialities such as paedriatrics, haematology, internal medicine, genetics, surgery, obstetrics and neurology.
