Abstract

Introduction: Sickle cell anemia is a kind of severe hemolytic anemia caused by the sickle haemoglobin (HbS) gene, which results in a faulty haemoglobin molecule. The term "sickle cell disease" refers to a set of genetic illnesses affecting red blood cells. People with sickle cell disease have irregularly formed red blood cells, which might be troublesome since they don't stay as long as healthy blood cells once they reach the state of blood arteries.
 Clinical findings:
 
 Progressive Anemia
 Mild jaundice
 Fever
 Headache
 Growth retardation
 Superaded bacterial infection
 Enlarge hurtNon healing ulcer
 
 
 Organ failure
 Abdominal pain with distension

Highlights

  • Sickle cell anemia is a kind of severe hemolytic anemia caused by the sickle haemoglobin (HbS) gene, which results in a faulty haemoglobin molecule

  • Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disease in which a malfunctioning haemoglobin produces chronic anemia, which can lead to a variety of significant problems

  • Dactylitis, defined as a steady-state haemoglobin side by side of a smaller amount than 7 g per decilitre, was found in this observational study of children with sickle cell anaemia, and leucocytosis in the absence of infection were all linked to poorer outcomes later in childhood
