Abstract

Acute complications due to a drepanocytic condition, and happening during air transport are rare. The question is of little importance for the homozygotic form but is a frequent problem with no easy answer for the heterozygotic forms (AS, SC and Th.S). Passengers, stewards and pilots raise different problems requiring different regulations and preventive measures.
