Résumé
The purpose of this study is the prevalence of the rheumatologic complications in the sickle cell disease and the associations between haemoglobinopathies and rheumatologic affections. It is a retrospective study from 29 February 2006 to 28 March 2008 conducted in the Internal Department of the University Hospital Yalgado-Ouédraogo. All patients received in the period of study and having an electrophoresis of haemoglobin realized in alkaline pH were included. These patients came from hematologic consultation. Two hundred and seventy-seven patients out of 1451 were included: 142 patients (51.30%) had haemoglobinopathies, including 21 (7.60%) with composite sickle cell disease SC and 17 patients (6.13%) had aseptic necrosis of the femoral head including 7 with haemoglobin SC. The other rheumatologic affections did not have a semiological particularity related to the type of haemoglobin. The prevalence of patients who have haemoglobinopathies is important in rheumatologic practice. The sickle cell disease is strongly associated to osteonecrosis.
