Approche epidemiologique des hemoglobinopathies au Maroc

The anomalies of hemoglobin are responsible in Morocco of many grave cases of hemolytic anemia. The study of hemoglobinopathic epidemiology can aid in a prevention based on the genetic counseling. The authors make an epidemiology approach of this disease using report on their experience and the publications. The result of this approach is that the Sickle Cell Disease is the most frequent hemoglobinopathy in the hospital milieu, and there are associations between: -Thalassemia and Hb S or C. - Hemoglobinose C and S or O. This result is discussed

Donnees heatimetriques frequentes du nouveau-ne Marocain

The authors present the frequent haemetological values of cord blood in 91 newly born infants. The numeration of RBC, WBC, the dosage of Hb, the PCV, MCV and MCHC were processed by the Hemalog 8/90. We used manual technique to obtain WBC different counts. The results come near the data in medical literature except the number of neutrophiles granubocytes who is low. This study is pertinent as it furnishes to the practitioner results obtained in newborn infants from our Country

Profile bilogique de la drepanocytose au Maroc [a propos de 85 cas]

The hemoglobinopathies are frequent in Morocco. The Sickle cell disease is one of the most important of these complaints. The authors report 85 cases of patients in the C.H.U. of Rabat, and expose the hematology characteristics of each form. The Sickle cell disease is a grave complaint with important and constant anemia which persists even out of hemolytic crises. The patients rarely attain adult age. The association of Sickle cell anemia and beta thalassemia has the same degree of gravity. Meanwhile the association of Sickle cell anemia and hemoglobin C disease is not so grave The Sickle cell trait, classically benign, can present a severe anemia

Electrophorese de l'hemoglobine sur acetate de cellulose: apports et limites

The research of an Abnormality of hemoglobin use simple and rapid techniques such as electrophoresis on cellulose acetate. Associated with family study and determination of A2 hemoglobin and F hemoglobin, allows, the diagnosis of thalassemia and Sickle cell disease. To be able to explore the other possible anomaly of hemoglobin, we have to use other techniques like electrophoresis on citrate agar [pH 6 - 6,2] or isoelectrofocusing
