Article Synopsis
- Osteosclerosis (OSC) is an under-researched complication in sickle cell disease (SCD), and this study aimed to assess the prevalence and features of high bone mineral density (BMD) in adult SCD patients.
- Conducted over nearly a decade, the study included 135 adult SCD patients, finding that 15% had high BMD, particularly among those with certain SCD genotypes (e.g., S/beta).
- The research concluded that high BMD in SCD is linked to older age and specific genotypes, indicating it may become increasingly common as the patient population ages.
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare acquired hematopoietic stem cell disorder that must be correctly diagnose because it is a chronic disease with a real impact on the quality of life and the survival of the patients. PNH screening of all patients with anemia or thrombosis is not recommended. We report the case of a 71-year-old male patient referred for chronic anemia.
