Abstract
Sickle cell disease is a genotypic condition characterized by the presence of a hemoglobin S which results biologically and clinically suckling red blood cells and hemolytic anemia.1,2 The occurrence of pregnancy in this fragile situation can trigger fearsome maternal and fetal complications even when appropriate preventive measures are used. Management must be multidisciplinary, involving obstetrician, hematologist and pediatrician assisted by different specialists depending on the evolution. Progress in these areas has allowed women to reach reproductive age and even pregnancy with the risk of complications for them and their fetus. For this, early detection of the disease is essential to plan the best time to be pregnant. In view of this context of pregnancy, which deserves great attention, we have decided to conduct a study on the association of major sickle cell disease and pregnancy at the Pikine National Hospital Center. The main objective is to study the management and prognosis of this particularly morbid pathology when it is associated with pregnancy, in the quest to propose a protocol for its management.

期刊介绍:
For many diseases, women’s physiology and life-cycle hormonal changes demand important consideration when determining healthcare management options. Age- and gender-related factors can directly affect treatment outcomes, and differences between the clinical management of, say, an adolescent female and that in a pre- or postmenopausal patient may be either subtle or profound. At the same time, there are certain conditions that are far more prevalent in women than men, and these may require special attention. Furthermore, in an increasingly aged population in which women demonstrate a greater life-expectancy.
