[Acute respiratory distress in a patient with sickle-cell anemia].
The acute chest syndrome is a frequent complications of sickle-cell disease characterized by chest pain, fever, and new infiltrate on chest x-ray image. Pathophysiologic factors appear to be multifactorial and better known. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with homozygous sickle cell anemia who developed acute chest syndrome probably secondary to fat embolism.
