Abstract

Sickle cell disease is the number one genetic disease in France in terms of the number of children diagnosed each year in the neonatal period. Throughout their lives, people with sickle cell disease are likely to develop acute complications that require urgent treatment. Chronic complications are more common amongst adults than in children.
