Extracellular hemin crisis triggers acute chest syndrome in sickle mice.
The prevention and treatment of acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a major clinical concern in sickle cell disease (SCD). However, the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of ACS remains elusive. We tested the hypothesis that the hemolysis byproduct hemin elicits events that induce ACS. Infusion of a low dose of hemin caused acute intravascular hemolysis and autoamplification of extracellular hemin...
متن کاملAcute chest syndrome in sickle-cell disease.
25 consecutive episodes of acute chest syndrome in 13 adult patients with sickle-cell disease were studied retrospectively. Chest symptoms were present on admission in 23 of 25 episodes. Abnormal chest signs and an abnormal chest X-ray were present on admission in only 11 and 9 episodes, respectively, but developed later in the remainder. The 9 episodes with bilateral radiological changes were ...

ACS is currently defined as a new infiltrate on chest radiograph in conjunction with 1 other new symptom or sign: chest pain, cough, wheezing, tachypnea, and/or fever (> 38.5°C).1 The term acute chest syndrome was first suggested in 1979 by Charache ...
متن کاملVascular occlusion and infarction in sickle cell crisis and the sickle chest syndrome.
A young adult with homozygous sickle cell anaemia (Hb SS) suffered a fatal sickle cell crisis complicated by the sickle chest syndrome. At necropsy multiple large infarcts of the lung, bone marrow, and pituitary gland were found. The large majority of pulmonary infarcts were not associated with either gross or microscopic vaso-occlusion. These findings are discussed and correlated with past and...
متن کاملRib infarcts and acute chest syndrome in sickle cell diseases.
In the absence of evidence for pneumonia or pulmonary embolus, primary pulmonary infarction has been assumed to be the cause of the syndrome of chest pain, fever, and pulmonary infiltrate on chest X-ray that commonly complicates sickle cell anaemia. To find out whether the syndrome might be due to rib infarction, 99mTc-diphosphonate bone scans were done. In the eleven episodes thus investigated...
