RÉSUMÉ
La drépanocytose est l’hémoglobinopathie la plus répandue. Elle est émaillée de complications graves qui peuvent être anémiques, infectieuses ou ischémiques de sièges divers. L’atteinte osseuse est fréquente, à type d’infarctus, ostéomyélite voir arthromyosite. Nous rapportons un où nous avons rencontré des difficultés pour arriver au diagnostic étiologique d’une arthromyosite chez un drépanocytaire majeur SSFA2.
ABSTRACT
Sickle cell disease is the most widespread hemoglobinopathy. It is fraught with serious complications, which may be anemic, infectious or ischemic. Bone involvement is frequent, with infarction, osteomyelitis and even arthromyositis. We report the case in whom we faced challenges in establishing the the bacteriological etiology of arthromyositis in a major SSFA2 sickle cell disease patient in Bouake.
