Description

This important collection provides an epidemiological perspective on the continuing scope of sickle cell disease (SCD) in sub-Saharan Africa, alongside the clinical attempts to provide comprehensive care in a resource-limited setting. The book moves from a clinical profile of SCD to screening for the disease and ongoing patient care.

There are chapters on pain management, organ failure, infections and transfusions, as well as nutrition and neurocognitive complications.

The book concludes with chapters on anti-sickness medication, cell transplantation and nursing care. The first in a two-volume set offering a multi-disciplinary perspective on SCD, this is a comprehensive resource that applies clinical knowledge to the practical challenges faced in sub-Saharan Africa.

It will be important reading for medical students taking courses in haematology as well as those studying Public Health in sub-Saharan Africa.

Practitioners in the region will also find it invaluable in developing their understanding of this pervasive disease.
