When Asthma Meets Sickle Cell: What Every Clinician Should Know
Children living with sickle cell disease often present with asthma-like symptoms—yet this overlap is frequently missed or misunderstood. The consequences can be serious, including a higher risk of acute chest syndrome, repeated hospitalisations, and even increased mortality.
This month’s Day of Lung Science session brings this critical issue into focus. Join us for an insightful webinar designed to equip clinicians with the knowledge needed to better recognise, assess, and manage this complex intersection in care.
What you’ll gain from this session:
- A clearer understanding of how asthma and sickle cell disease interact
- Practical guidance on differentiating asthma from other respiratory complications in sickle cell patients
- Evidence-based strategies to reduce the risk of acute chest syndrome
- Insights into optimising long-term respiratory care and improving patient outcomes
- Case-based discussions to support real-world clinical decision-making
Whether you are a paediatrician, pulmonologist, general practitioner, or healthcare professional involved in managing children with sickle cell disease, this session offers valuable, practice-changing insights.
