Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a prevalent genetic disorder primarily affecting individuals of African descent and populations in malaria-endemic regions, with significant global public health implications. Sickle cell c...
Introduction: In view of the number of sickle cell patients and due to a low production of descriptive studies, we decided to determine the prevalence of genes S and C of the disease in the Zinder region. The objectiv...
Background: Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the beta globin gene, resulting in the production of sickle hemoglobin, which is less soluble than normal hemoglobin. The main disease features are related to ...

In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the sickle cell trait carriage is estimated at 25%. Routine neonatal screening is not a common practice, leading to a very late diagnosis. In this study, the screening of pregn...
BACKGROUND Sickle cell hepatopathy(SCH)is an inclusive term referring to any liver dysfunction among patients with sickle cell disease.Acute sickle cell intrahepatic cholestasis is one of the rarest and most fatal pre...
Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard in the treatment of gallstones and lithiasis cholecystitis. It reduces post-operative complications especially in sickle cell patients. Aim: The aim of t...
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in sickle cell disease has been rarely described in the literature. Some authors consider sickle cell disease as a risk factor for CVT. We report the case of a 20-year-old boy, known a...
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is one of the most common genetic diseases in the world. It is associated with oxidative stress which occurs as a result of HbS unstable character causing a rise in the formation of free radi...
