Abstract
in English, French

Sickle cell disease is a common genetic disorder that affects haemoglobin. It is manifested by haemolytic anaemia and vaso-occlusive crisis. It can affect all organs and its evolution is unpredictable. The multidisciplinary management of pediatric patients who suffer from it is essential to adapt their treatment and optimize their evolution. One of the major challenges is to succeed the transition to adult medicine. New therapeutic perspectives are in development and look promising.

La drépanocytose est une maladie génétique fréquente qui affecte l’hémoglobine. Elle se manifeste par une anémie hémolytique et des phénomènes vaso-occlusifs. Elle peut toucher tous les organes et son évolution est imprévisible. La prise en charge multidisciplinaire des patients pédiatriques qui en souffrent est essentielle pour optimaliser leur évolution et adapter leur traitement. Un des défis majeurs est de réussir la transition vers la médecine adulte. De nouvelles perspectives thérapeutiques sont en développement.
