Abstract: Sickle cell disease, a genetic disease of hemoglobin, mono-mutational and autosomal recessive [1]. In Morocco, the whole epidemiology of hemoglobinopathies remains unidentified. The World Health Organization “WHO” estimates that in Morocco up to 6.5% are infected; A fact which suggests the existence of 30,000 cases of major forms of Thalassemia and sickle cell disease in Morocco. Several unpublished studies conducted by the Hospital for children of the universuty hospital center have shown that northwestern Morocco is a favorite haemoglobinopathies area and that the Gharb Chrarda Beni Hssein region (GCBH), seems the most affected region especially at the level of Kenitra city, at the commune of Mnasra which is a hotbed of thalassemia.The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes induced by the sickle cell disease on the growth of weight loss of sickle cell children and to assess their interaction with certain disease severity factors. The study is based on a sample of 32 sickle cell patients who are hospitalized at the pediatric level between 2012 and 2015 in the Kénitra provincial hospital. The results confirm unstable prevalence of the weight-of-weight status of the population according to the 2007 WHO growth references for the 1-month-61 month age group, with a prevalence of 21.73 % (N = 5), The study also revealed that meagerness affects 8.69% (N = 2), while overweight attains 0%. Based on these results, it was concluded that stool-weight loss is more severe in sickle cell children than normal children in comparison with the results of the study by Aboussaleh [2], El Hioui [3] ,and Sbaibi [ 4].
