  4. INTRODUCTION What is sickle cell disease? Sickle cell disease [SCD] is a genetically inherited disease in which an amino acid glutamic acid in position 6 on the beta globin is replaced by another amino acid called valine; leading to production of defective haemoglobin S.

  5. An individual with SCD has inherited 2 abnormal haemoglobin genes, one of which is HbS. The most common and most severe is SS disease. Others are SC, Sβ- thal,

  6. In SCD, the red blood cells assume an abnormal rigid sickle shape. It occurs in 1 million Nigerians. Over 40 million Nigerians are healthy carriers of the S gene. About 150,000 children are born each year with HbSS.

  7. It is an autosomal recessive disorder. The one in four chance of SS occurs with each pregnancy. The severity of SCD is multifactorial – type, haplotype, level of care etc

  8. CLINICAL PRESENTATIONS These are usually due to decreased solubility of Hb S. The solubility of deoxy-Hb S is 1% of oxy- Hb S and 10% of deoxyHb A. This decrease in solubility leads to rigidity of rbc membrane, sickle shape, and reduced life span.

  9. Anaemia Jaundce Hepatosplenomegaly Hand and foot syndrome Small for age

  10. CRISES • Vaso- occlusive • Hyperhaemolytic • Sequestration • Aplastic

  11. Stroke Retinopathy Blindness Acute chest syndrome Chest infection Cardiomegaly Splenomegaly

  12. Hepatomegaly Cholilithiasis Hypostenuria Haematuria Priampism Delayed puberty Avascular necrosis of femoral head Ulcer

  13. Infections • pneumonia • Osteomyelitis • UTI • Sepsis • Malaria

  14. MANAGEMENT • Patient/ Parents • Regular follow up • Balanced diet • Water • Healthy habits • Take medications regularly • Immunisation

  15. B. Health team • Diagnosis: Antenatal,neonatal, • Investigations: Steady state pcv, Transcranialdoppler (TCD), irreversible sickling, Fe studies. Others. • Prevention of infection: immunization, proguanil, oral penicillin. • Folate supplementation

  16. Anti – sickling agents: Nicosan, Ciklavit, Fagarazanthoxyloides, Hydroxyurea Follow up and counselling Management of acute illnesses and complications. Chronic transfusion therapy

  17. Bone marrow transplantation: • CVA • Sub arachnoidhaemorrhage • Recurrent acute chest syndrome, • Recurrent severe debilitating pain. • Ova and sperm still SS.
