Abstract
Sickle cell disease poses a public health problem in Senegal. It mainly affects children and adolescents. This study aimed to determine the epidemiological, clinical and hematological profiles of homozygous (SS) sickle cell disease in a cohort of children followed-up at the Peace Hospital in Ziguinchor. We conducted a retrospective study of the medical records from children with sickle cell disease. All patients aged between 2 months and 21 years with sickle cell disease SS during the intercritical period, hospitalized during the study period from 1st January 2015 to 31 August 2017 were included in our study. Compound heterozygous patients (SC, S Beta Thalassemia) were not included. We collected 46 medical records of patients with sickle cell disease SS (20 girls and 26 boys). The average age of children was 8,0 years [11 months-21 years]. Approximately 1/3 of children (39.1%) had an age less than or equal to 5 years. There was an ethnic diversity showing a predominance of the Diola (30.2%) followed by the Mandinga (27.9%) and the Poular (25.6%). The average age of children with first crisis was 35,5 months [7-192 months]. More than 1/3 of children (41.3%) had had first crisis before their second anniversary. In the child, first crisis was dominated by vaso-occlusive crisis (32.6%) followed by hand-foot syndrome (30.4%). Clinical signs during the intercritical period were pallor 95.6%), jaundice (36.9%) and splenomegaly (21.7%). Mean white blood cell count was 12465 leucocytes/mm3 [5340-26900]. Hyperleukocytosis greater than 10 000 leucocytes/mm3was found in 34 patients (73.9%). All patients had anemia with an average hemoglobin of 08,6 g/dl [05,7-11,8]. Hemoglobin S rate ranged between 54.6 and 98.4%. Diagnosis and medical management of sickle cell disease SS are delayed in Ziguinchor. Neonatal screening may lead to improve early management of patients in the region.Entities:
