Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemias are chronic hemolytic diseases that may induce three types of acute accidents: severe anemia, severe bacterial infections, and ischemic vasoocclusive accidents (VOA) caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells obstructing small blood vessels and capillaries. Many diverse complications can occur.

Thromboembolism

The formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel that subsequently travels through the blood stream from the site where it formed to another location in the body, generally leading to vascular occlusion at the distant site.

We describe two patients with sickle cell disease on such a regimen, who became hypoxic as a result of pulmonary thromboembolism, secondary to venous thrombophlebitis.

The symptoms of thromboembolism in sickle cell anemia patients with acute chest syndromes are difficult to differentiate from the similar symptoms of painful thoracic crises and infectious pulmonary episodes.

Furthermore, the chronic pulmonary abnormalities in sickle cell disease frequently contribute to the confusing results of noninvasive diagnostic procedures usually employed in evaluating pulmonary thromboembolism.
