متن کاملThe vaso-occlusive crisis of sickle cell disease.
Sickle cell anaemia was the first molecular disease to be described'; despite intensive study we still do not understand the relations between the clinical picture, the cellular defects, and the molecular make up of any one person. Two recent papers have further elucidated the complex pathophysiology associated with painful crisis, although their implications for treatment are unclear. Clinicia...
متن کاملPancreatitis in the Setting of Vaso-occlusive Sickle Cell Crisis: A Rare Encounter
Acute pancreatitis is a common cause of acute abdominal pain. Gallstones and alcohol abuse account for the majority of the cases. Pancreatic ischemia is an uncommon but established cause of pancreatitis associated with connective tissue diseases, vasculitis, and shock. Our case highlights a rare case of vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) in a patient with sickle cell (SC) disease leading to pancreatit...
متن کاملFentanyl Buccal Tablet: A New Breakthrough Pain Medication in Early Management of Severe Vaso-Occlusive Crisis in Sickle Cell Disease.
BACKGROUND Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a worldwide distributed hereditary red cell disorder. The principal clinical manifestations of SCD are the chronic hemolytic anemia and the acute vaso-occlusive crisis (VOCs), which are mainly characterized by ischemic/reperfusion tissue injury. Pain is the main symptom of VOCs, and its management is still a challenge for hematologists, requiring a multid...
متن کاملProcalcitonin as a Biomarker of Bacterial Infection in Sickle Cell Vaso-Occlusive Crisis
Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) patients with vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) have signs of inflammation and it is often difficult to diagnose a bacterial infection in them. This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of serum procalcitonin (PCT) as a biomarker of bacterial infection in acute sickle cell vaso-occlusive crisis. Hundred homozygous SCA patients were studied at Sickle Cell Clinic and Mole...
