Abstract

The management of pain and prevention of end organ damage in patients with sickle cell disease is challenging. Treatment options include antibacterial prophylaxis, appropriate vaccinations, hydroxycarbamide therapy and regular blood transfusion, with the only available cure being haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Special consideration should be given to patient well-being and management options in low-income countries.
