    Sickle cell anemia is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders caused by a defective gene called the sickle cell gene. People with sickle cell anemia are born with two sickle cell genes, one from each parent. The sickle-shaped cells are not flexible and cannot change shape easily, bursting apart as they move through blood vessels and only lasting 10-20 days instead of the normal 90-120 days. Symptoms include pain, cough, fever and shortness of breath. Treatment options are drugs like hydroxyurea and folic acid or therapies like bone marrow transplantation and blood transfusion. Diagnosis can be done at birth through newborn screening or later through screening tests and hemoglobin electrophoresis

    The (SCD) is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. If you have
    SCD, there is a problem with your hemoglobin.

    The sickle-shaped cells are not flexible and cannot change shape easily.
    Many of them burst apart as they move through your blood vessels. The
    sickle cells usually only last 10 to 20 days, instead of the normal 90 to 120
    days.

    What causes sickle cell disease?

    The cause of SCD is a defective gene, called a sickle cell gene. People with
    the disease are born with two sickle cell genes, one from each parent.

    If you are born with one sickle cell gene, it's called sickle cell trait. People
    with sickle cell trait are generally healthy, but they can pass the defective
    gene on to their children.

    Symptom:

    The characteristics that allow the identification of the disease

    which are reported by the patient or identified by clinical


    examination.

    Examples: pain, cough, fever and dyspnea (i.e., shortness of breath or


    breathing difficulty .

    Treatment:

    Use of a drug or application of a therapy for a period that allows

    modification in the patient's health regarding the disease. Examples of


    drugs:

    hydroxyurea and folic acid. Examples of therapy: bone marrow


    transplantation

    and blood transfusion .

    2
    Diagnosis :

    The diagnosis can be performed when the child is born by a procedure


    known as

    newborn screening . It is also possible to diagnose the Sickle Cell Anemia


    with

    the screening tests known as sickling test and smear test. To confirm
    the result of the

    screening test the Hemoglobin electrophoresis is performed,
