Full textIntroduction Sickle cell disease is the most common genetic disorder in the world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where sickle cell mutation with high prevalence’s is originated high. It is recognized as a major health problem by the international community due to its morbidity and mortality. In Mali, around 5-6000 newborns annually affected by sickle cell disease [Diallo, 2008] and they will require specific medical that is by the “Centre de Recherche et de Lutte contre la Drépanocytose » (CRLD) in Bamako. This is the unique Malian center where sickle cell patients from Mali and the sub-region are treated. Because of the lack of systematic screening program at birth, most of the patients are seen at the stage of complications. Blood transfusion is largely used for therapeutic management of these patients. It constitutes an essential therapeutic approach against anemia of highly prevalent in Africa various origins (some requiring also treatment of the cause). However, blood transfusion means significant risks, particularly in area of high prevalence of transfusion transmissible infectious agents. A systematic screening for viral infections like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus(HBV) and Treponema agent of syphilis is required for all blood donations in Bamako, but the high prevalence of these infectious agents in the general population, i.e. blood donors, suggest that the residual risk of transfusion must be important.In order to enhance blood transfusion safety in Mali, we undertook prospective and retrospective studies in the population of blood donor and sickle cell patient transfused to identify transfusion related adverse events and especially for SCD’ patients, suggest a better strategy for their follow-up. Methodology:We conducted a sery of studies which aims to determine:- The characteristics of donors, blood donation and the organization of blood transfusion centers in sub-Saharan French speaking Africa;- The seroprevalence of major infectious agents (HIV, HBV, and HCV) in blood donations at the CNTS in Mali and in sickle cell patients at CRLD. The frequency of anti-erythrocyte allo immunization before and after blood transfusion in sickle cell disease patients;- Identification of difficulties related to newborn screening and monitoring of sickle cell patients in Mali.Blood donors (volunteers and family) were included according to the criteria of blood donation in Mali.Hemoglobin type in sickle cell was determined by the technique of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) before patients’ inclusionScreening for viral infections was performed by enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) and the search for anti-erythrocyte antibodies by indirect Coombs test. ResultsIn the seven countries, donors aged from 18 to 30 years old were more represented i.e. 45% in all centers and more than 70%in four of the seven centers. More than 70% of blood donors were males. Donors were mostly volunteers (over 70%), except in Cameroon and Mali accounting for25.5% and30%, respectively four countries, including Cameroon and Mali had less than,50% of regulars donors.Of the 25 543 blood donations collected at the CNTS in Bamako in 2007, seroprevalence of infectious agents detected represented: 2.6%, 3.3%, and 13.9% for HIV, HCV, and HBV respectively. A statistical significative difference (p<0.05) was observed between family and volunteer donors in term of seroprevalence.the 133 sickle cell patients who received blood transfusion at inclusion, the seroprevalence of viral infections was1%, 3%, and 1%,for HIV, HBV, and HCV, respectively. Three cases of post-transfusion seroconversion were observed but only in sickle cell patients who received blood from family donors.Anti-erythrocyte alloimmunization was observed in 4.4% (4/90) among sickle cell patients with blood transfusion history at the time of inclusion; observed antibodies were anti type D (one case), anti C (two cases) and anti c (one case). However, no case was observed in any sickle cell patients, who received phenotyped RBC at CRLD,For neonatal screening, among the 2480 newborns, 16 were affected. However no scheduled medical follow-up was realized. Conclusion The relatively high prevalence’s of infectious agents in family donors, who represented the majority of blood donors, and of seroconversion observed after blood transfusion in sickle cell patients justify a security policy of blood transfusion procedures based, particulary for SCD patients, blood donations by volunteers. Improved survival of patients with sickle cell disease should be based on the development of early detection programs and regular monitoring. However if this strategy is feasible in terms of diagnosis ,it raises problems at funding for this activity and also of; those should be the subject of discussion for a long term solution

Full textLa Guadeloupe compte 450.000 habitants, dont 12% sont porteurs de l’hémoglobine S. Le nombre des drépanocytaires est estimé à 1.200 dont les 3/4 sont suivis au Centre Caribéen de la Drépanocytose (CCD), créé en 1990. Le centre assure la prise en charge médicale des enfants dès leur naissance et des adultes malades. Nos activités au CHU de Pointe-à-Pitre, au CCD et à l’Unité INSERM-UMR S458 depuis juillet 1992 nous ont permis d’étudier:
- le diagnostic de l’ONTF;
- l’évaluation de l’hyperpression osseuse dans l’ONTF et l’évaluation du traitement par forage simple;
- l’étude de l’impact de la prise en charge orthopédique précoce sur la survenue et l’évolution de l’ONTF.
Notre étude concerne les patients drépanocytaires adultes homozygotes (SS) et double hétérozygotes (SC):
- une série rétrospective de 1993-1994 [E-1994] portant sur 115 patients (58 SS, 57 SC) identifiés en 1984,
sans suivi médical ni orthopédique;
- une série prospective de 1995 à 2008 [E-2008] portant sur 215 patients (94 SS, 121 SC) avec prise en
charge médicale et orthopédique.
L’IRM est l’examen de référence pour le diagnostic de l’ONTF comme dans la nécrose idiopathique. En absence d’imagerie moderne, la radiographie traditionnelle réalisée de façon complète (profil et, surtout, faux profil), permet le diagnostic avant toute déformation. Seules les lésions cliniquement symptomatiques et évolutives (examen clinique itératif, contrôle radiologique, tomographie, TDM ou IRM) ont une indication opératoire.
L’hyperpression intra osseuse, dans l’ONTF drépanocytaire, est significativement liée à la douleur (que les patients soient homozygotes ou hétérozygotes). Sa diminution a un effet antalgique objectif, observée après forage. Elle permet de confirmer le diagnostic d’ostéonécrose au stade précoce, dans les régions où l’IRM est inexistante.
Un forage réalisé aux stades précoces de l’ONTF permet un arrêt rapide de l’évolution des lésions vers une arthrose, avec une efficacité certaine pour les stades I et II. Il garde une efficacité limitée pour le stade III. En plus de l’indolence apportée par la décompression, le bénéfice du forage se manifeste par l’allongement du délai avant arthroplastie (de 7,4 ± 2,7 ans). La technique est réalisable dans les régions sous équipées, où la drépanocytose est fréquente.
La description histologique aux différents stades radiologiques de l’ONTF montre toujours des lésions de nécrose médullaire et osseuse. A l’inverse des lésions idiopathiques, les lésions drépanocytaires sont caractérisées par la présence d’une inflammation, en dehors de tout processus infectieux.
Dans la littérature, la fréquente de l’ONTF drépanocytaire chez l’adulte est voisine de 40%, proche de celle observée dans [E-1994], notre population non suivie (36,5%). En comparant les études [E-1994] et [E-2008], la fréquence de l’ONTF passe de 36,5% à 14,4%. L’officialisation en 1992 d’une prise en charge médicale et d’un suivi orthopédique régulier au CCD et au CHU de Pointe-à-Pitre, a permis la réduction de la fréquence de l’ONTF et d’autres morbidités.
Le rappel sur la drépanocytose révèle la complexité de la maladie, la variabilité de son expression clinique et de ses complications. L’amélioration de vie des patients nécessite une prévention primaire, secondaire et tertiaire, en l’absence d’un traitement spécifique de la maladie.
La prise en charge médicale, complétée par une prévention et un traitement précoce (orthopédique ou chirurgical) telle que réalisés au CCD en Guadeloupe, a permis une réduction significative de la survenue de la nécrose de hanche et de ses complications. Pour une prévention tertiaire des complications ostéo-articulaires, nous suggérons:
- une prise en charge médicale régulière des enfants et des adultes afin de réduire les crises vaso-occlusives;
- une éducation des patients à la recherche de signes d’appel de l'ONTF et, aussi, d’autres articulations;
- un examen clinique ostéo-articulaire lors des bilans annuels et après toute crise vaso-occlusive;
- une attention particulière à l’adolescence (passage enfant-adulte), après une grossesse;
- une prise en charge précoce, orthopédique ou chirurgicale conservatrice (forage ou ostéotomie) face à une
nécrose, afin de réduire les complications invalidantes de l’ONTF.
Sickle-cell anemia is the most widespread hereditary (autosomal recessive Mendelian transmission) molecular pathology in the world. It is a public health issue in many countries, due to its severity and socio-economic impact. Only homozygous (SS) and double heterozygous (SC) subjects are affected, heterozygous (AS) subjects merely transmitting the gene S. Sickle-cell anemia is the most frequent cause of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), a painful condition which evolves towards osteoarthritis if not treated at an early age.
Guadeloupe has a population of 450,000, 12% of whom are carriers of hemoglobin S. There are estimated to be 1,200 sickle-cell anemia sufferers, three-quarters of whom are followed in the Caribbean Sickle-Cell Center (Centre Caribéen de la Drépanocytose: CCD), which was set up in 1990. The Center provides medical care for adult patients and for children as of birth. Work has been ongoing since July 1992, in the Pointe-à-Pitre University Hospital, the CCD and the INSERM-UMR S458 research unit, focusing on:
- diagnosis of ONFH;
- bone hyperpressure measurement in ONFH and assessment of simple drilling treatment;
- the impact of early orthopedic treatment on the onset and evolution of ONFH.
The present study involved homozygous (SS) and double heterozygous (SC) adult sickle-cell anemia patients:
- a retrospective series, from 1993 to 1994 [S-1994], including 115 patients (58 SS, 57 SC) identified in 1984,
who had no medical or orthopedic care;
- a prospective series, from 1995 to 2008 [S-2008], including 215 patients (94 SS, 121 SC), with medical and orthopedic care.
MRI is the diagnostic gold-standard in ONFH, as in idiopathic necrosis. Where such modern imaging is not available, complete standard X-ray (lateral and especially false lateral) enables diagnosis to be made before deformity sets in. Surgery is indicated only for clinically symptomatic evolutive lesions on iterative clinical check-up, X-ray control, tomography, CT or MRI.
Intraosseous hyperpressure in sickle-cell ONFH shows a significant correlation with pain, in both homozygous and heterozygous patients. Pressure reduction is objectively pain-relieving, as seen after drilling, and can confirm diagnosis of ONFH at an early stage, in places where MRI is not available.
Drilling performed in the early stages of ONFH quickly arrests evolution towards osteoarthritis, with proven efficacy in grades I and II, and a certain degree of effectiveness in grade III. Over and above the pain-relief provided by decompression, drilling also enables hip replacement to be postponed, by 7.4±2.7 years. Moreover, the technique is feasible in those under-equipped regions in which sickle-cell disease is widespread.
Histologic description of radiologic ONFH stages consistently finds medullary and bone necrosis. In contrast to idiopathic lesions, sickle-cell related lesions show inflammation without any associated infection.
In the literature, the frequency of adult sickle-cell ONFH is reported to be nearly 40%, close to the 36.5% found in the S-1994 study of a non-treated population. In the S-2008 study of a population with medical and orthopedic care, ONFH frequency fell to 14.4%. The official provision of medical care and regular orthopedic follow-up in the CCD and Pointe-à-Pitre Hospital has reduced the frequency of ONFH and other morbidities.
A review of sickle-cell disease reveals its complexity: the variability of its clinical expression and associated complications. Improving patients’ quality of life requires primary, secondary and tertiary prevention, in the absence of specific treatment.
Medical care, supplemented by early prevention and treatment (orthopedic or surgical), as practiced in the Guadeloupe CCD, has significantly reduced the rates of ONFH and associated complications. We recommend the following CCD protocol for tertiary prevention of osteoarticular complications:
- regular medical care for children and adults, to reduce the incidence of vaso-occlusive crises;
- patient education in alarm signs of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and of other joints;
- systematic osteoarticular assessment at yearly check-up and after all vaso-occlusive crises;
- special focus on adolescence (child-to-adult transition) and following pregnancy;
- early care, both orthopedic and by conservative surgery (drilling or osteotomy), in case of necrosis, to reduce the rate of disabling complications of ONFH

Full textSickle cell disease is associated with a hypercoagulable state that express clinically by an increased risk of arterial and venous thrombosis. The exploration of coagulation in sickle cell patients showed mainly activation of coagulation and alterations pro-and anticoagulants actors of the hemostatic system. Routine global testing of coagulation such as the prothrombin time and the activated partial thromboplastin time are insensitive to hypercoagulable states. The overall hemostatic function in sickle cell disease was so little known. The thrombin generation test is a test of overall coagulation. It is sensitive to both hypo- and hypercoagulable states. It is easy to perform nowadays with good reproducibility. We used it to demonstrate that the overall coagulation of sickle cell disease children was characterized by an acceleration of the reactions of thrombin formation and an increase of the endogenous thrombin potential. We have subsequently shown that high levels of procoagulant microparticles and high levels of factor VIII in children with sickle cell disease are the factors determining the acceleration of reactions leading to thrombin formation. Our results also showed that the reduced activity of the protein C / S anticoagulant pathway is a determining factor of the increased endogenous thrombin potential in sickle cell children. Markers of hemolysis correlated significantly with these factors as well as the parameters of thrombin generation, suggesting that hemolysis is probably the pathological mechanism underlying the increased potential for thrombin generation in children with sickle cell disease. Nearly 40% of children with homozygous sickle cell disease had their hemostatic potential above the mean + 2SD that of controls children of the same age. These children with high thrombin generation differed from others by their younger age, greater intensity of hemolysis, a shorter duration of treatment with hydroxyurea. They also had higher velocity of blood flow using transcranial Doppler. These data further suggest a potential link between thrombin generation and cerebral vasculopathy in children with sickle cell disease. Analysis of four children who received hematopoietic stem cells transplantation showed a tendency towards a reversibility of thrombin generation and other alterations of coagulation three months after the transplant. Thrombin generation assay allows a better exploration of the global coagulation of sickle cell disease children. Its realization on whole blood would be a more comprehensive analysis as it would integrate the participation of blood cells particularly red blood cells.

Full textLa drépanocytose, affection génétique concernant 1 à 2% de la population en Afrique sub-saharienne, est une maladie chronique dont l’un des traitements essentiels est la transfusion sanguine. Kisangani, une ville du Nord-est de la République Démocratique du Congo, compte environ un million d’habitants et près de 30 000 naissances par an. Elle est caractérisée entre autre par l’endémie malarienne, la fréquence élevée dans la population des virus de l’immunodéficience humaine (VIH), des virus des hépatites B (VHB) et C (VHC) et la carence d’autosuffisance en sang. Le don de sang est fait par des donneurs volontaires et par des donneurs de remplacement. Les tests VIH et VHB sont réalisés chez les donneurs depuis les années 80, celui de VHC depuis fin 2004. Dans ce contexte, définir des actions prioritaires pour assurer, en général et en particulier pour les patients drépanocytaires, la sécurité transfusionnelle la plus optimale possible est essentiel.
Méthodologie
Afin de déterminer les prévalences d’infections virales, les marqueurs sérologiques du VIH, VHB et VHC ont été recherchés chez 4637 donneurs de sang (2236 volontaires et 2401 de remplacement) du Centre Provincial de Transfusion et des hôpitaux de Kisangani. Chez 140 patients drépanocytaires suivis dans un centre médical de Kisangani, 127 ont été transfusés. Parmi eux, 79 sont « polytransfusés » et 94 ont été transfusés avant 2004. Outre la sérologie VIH, VHB et VHC, l’allo-immunisation anti-HLA et anti-érythrocytaire ont été recherchées et les indications de transfusion déterminées. Afin d’estimer la prévalence de la drépanocytose à la naissance, l’HbS a été identifiée systématiquement par focalisation isoélectrique sur du sang du cordon ombilical de 520 nouveau-nés suivis dans cinq maternités de Kisangani. Afin de déterminer les indications transfusionnelles dans la drépanocytose à Kisangani, un relevé de ces indications a été réalisé pour ces mêmes 127 patients drépanocytaires transfusés. Afin de comparer l’usage de la transfusion à Kisangani et à Bruxelles pour des complications non liées à l’environnement, les 140 patients drépanocytaires suivis à Kisangani ont été comparés à 195 patients suivis à Bruxelles ;parmi eux, 71 patients ont pu être appariés pour l’âge.
Résultats
La prévalence des marqueurs viraux chez les donneurs de sang est de l’ordre de 4% pour le VIH, de 5% pour le VHB et de 4% pour le VHC. Les séroprévalences de VIH (2,2 vs 4,1%) et VHB (3,0 vs 4,6%) sont moindres chez les donneurs bénévoles par rapport aux donneurs de remplacement. La prévalence du VIH et du VHB observée chez les donneurs bénévoles était plus élevée en 2006 qu’en 2004. Treize patients drépanocytaires non transfusés ne sont pas porteurs des marqueurs viraux. Six pourcent des patients qui ont une sérologie VHC positive sont des polytransfusés ;1% chez ceux qui avaient reçu une ou deux transfusions. Suite au retard d’introduction du dépistage VHC chez les donneurs, une séroprévalence pour le VHC de 7 % des malades pour seulement 0,7% pour celle du VIH et de 1,4% pour celle du VHB a été démontrée. Le fait qu’aucun patient transfusé après 2004, n’a été trouvé positif au VHC alors que 10 % l’ont été parmi ceux transfusés avant 2004 montre le bénéfice de l’introduction de moyens simples et peu coûteux. Deux (1,6 %) patients étaient porteurs d’anticorps anti-HLA et 13 (10%) des anticorps anti-érythrocytaires (2 anti-C-D, 1 anti-E et 1 anti-C-D-E). Aucun des patients n’étaient porteurs des anticorps anti-Kell (K), anti-Kidd (Jka et Jkb) ou anti-Duffy. La prévalence de la drépanocytose chez les nouveau-nés de Kisangani est d’environ 1 %. A Kisangani, outre l’anémie liée à la malaria (46 %), un facteur environnemental, 34 % des transfusions ont été administrées pour des crises douloureuses simples. En comparaison, aucun patient suivi à Bruxelles n’a été transfusé pour cette indication. Cette attitude est probablement à mettre en relation avec la méconnaissance de la maladie par le personnel médical et par les familles des malades. L’anémie chronique de ces patients est souvent mal connue et interprétée comme une anémie aiguë.
Conclusion
Un encouragement des dons bénévoles sans exclure les donneurs de remplacement est nécessaire pour continuer à accroître l’approvisionnement en sang. Afin d’améliorer la sécurité transfusionnelle, la généralisation des tests simples de dépistage des donneurs de sang comme ceux du VHC devrait constituer une priorité dans les centres de transfusion. Avec une prévalence d’environ 1%, la drépanocytose est une affection fréquente à Kisangani. Pour ces patients drépanocytaires, établir des recommandations concernant les indications transfusionnelles permettrait de leur éviter des transfusions inappropriées.
Abstract
Introduction
Sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetic disorder that affects 1% to 2% of the population in sub-Saharan Africa, is a chronic disease in which blood transfusion is one of the essential treatments. Kisangani, a town in north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, has about one million inhabitants and nearly 30 000 births per year. It is characterized among others by the endemic malarial, a high frequency in the population of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) virus, but also a lack of self-sufficiency in blood. Blood donation is given by volunteers and replacement donors. HBV and HIV screening tests are performed in donors since the 80s, while for HCV it is available only since late 2004. In that context in view to ensure blood transfusion safety, it is essential to define priority actions, in general and especially for patients with sickle cell disease.
Methodology
To determine the prevalence of viral infections, serological markers for HIV, HBV and HCV were investigated in 4637 blood donors (2236 volunteers and 2401 replacement) of the Provincial Center of Transfusion and hospitals in Kisangani. Among 140 SCD-patients followed in a medical centre in Kisangani, 127 were transfused; 79 were considered as “multiple-transfused” and 94 were transfused before 2004. HIV, HBV and HCV seroprevalences, alloimmunization anti-HLA and against red blood cells were determined as well as the indications for transfusion.
To estimate the prevalence of SCD at birth, HbS was identified by isoelectric focusing on umbilical cord blood of 520 newborns in five maternities of Kisangani.
To determine the indications for transfusion in SCD patients at Kisangani, these indications were recorded for the 127 SCD transfused patients.
To compare the use of transfusion in Kisangani and in Brussels for clinical events unrelated to the environment, the 140 SCD-patients followed in Kisangani were compared with the 195 SCD-patients followed in Brussels and 71 patientsin both groups could be matched for age.
Results
The prevalence of viral markers among blood donors is around 4% for HIV, 5% for HBV and 4% for HCV. The seroprevalence of HIV (2.2 vs. 4.1%) and HBV (3.0 vs. 4.6%) were lower among volunteer donors compared to replacement donors. The prevalence of HIV and HBV infection observed among blood donors was higher in 2006 than in 2004.
Thirteen non-transfused sickle cell patients were not carriers of any serological viral marker. The SCD-patients HCV(+) were “multiple-transfused” patients (6%) or those who received one or two transfusions (1%). Following the delayed introduction of HCV donor screening, a HCV seroprevalence of 7% of patients for only 0.7% for the HIV and 1.4% for the HBV was demonstrated. The fact that no patients transfused after 2004 were HCV(+) compared to 10% of those transfused before 2004 shows the benefit of the introduction of a simple and inexpensive screening test. Two (1.6%) patients had anti-HLA antibodies and 13 (10%) red blood cells antibodies (2 anti-CD, 1 anti-E and an anti-C-D-E). None of the patients displayed Kell (K), Kidd (Jka and Jkb) or Duffy red cells antibodies.
The prevalence of sickle cell disease in newborns of Kisangani is about 1%. In Kisangani, in addition to anaemia due to malaria (46%), an environmental factor, 34% of transfusions were administered for uncomplicated painful crises. In comparison, no patient followed in Brussels were transfused for that indication. This attitude is likely to be related with the ignorance of the disease by the medical staff and patients’ families. The chronic anaemia of those patients is often poorly understood and interpreted as acute anaemia.
Conclusion
Encouragement of voluntary donations without excluding the replacement donors is needed to pursue to increase the blood supply. To improve blood safety, the generalization of simple tests for screening blood donors as those for HCV should be a priority in transfusion centres. With a prevalence of about 1%, the SCD is a common disease in Kisangani. For those SCD-patients, establish guidelines for indications of transfusion would avoid inappropriate transfusion.
