Abstract
A study was carried out on susceptibility of sicklemia patients to Plasmodium falciparum (PF) malaria in 151 hemoglobin S carriers (homozygous and heterozygous), assisted at the Cotonú Hospital, Benin, for 1 year. These diseased did not have any serious malaria complications. The results were compared to a control group without sickle-cell anemia who had 21.5% of complications due to the disease. Prevalence of genetic anomaly was higher than 20% among the general population under study.
