Article Synopsis
- In Africa, where hemophilia treatment access is limited, a study evaluated the effectiveness of low-dose prophylaxis (LDP) in reducing bleeding episodes among patients in sub-Saharan Africa.
- The study involved 15 children with hemophilia receiving low-dose clotting factors, resulting in significant decreases in annualized bleeding rates, joint bleeding, and improvements in joint health and functional independence over three years.
- The findings suggest that LDP improves clinical outcomes without increasing inhibitor risk, highlighting the importance of extended half-life clotting factor concentrates for better patient adherence in resource-limited settings.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess incidence, risk factors, treatment and outcome of LTB in Senegalese people with hemophilia (PWH).
Methods: We analyzed the characteristics of LTB in a cohort of 274 PWH after 10 years of follow-up.
Results: We included 274 patients (241 HA and 33 HB).
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is an orphan disease in Africa because of the inaccessibility to specific treatment and the high cost of diagnosis and monitoring patients. The aim of this study was to report CML treatment response in a developing country in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor era. We conducted a longitudinal study of our cohort of CML patients.
