Brief Summary: Many patients with Sickle Cell Disease SCD may develop Acute Chest Syndrome ACS ACS is usually caused by a Lower respiratory tract infection LRTI which may be caused by either a bacterium or a virus Antibiotics are usually used for 7 to 10 days with no microbiological workup

The hypothesis of the study is that the identification of the microorganisms might lead to a reduction of antibiotics exposure and a better care of the patients

We speculate that an early pathogen-directed strategy respiratory broad panel multiplex PCR and early antibiotics interruption based on the PCT values decrease might reduce the antibiotics exposure in SCD patients with ACS who are hospitalized and for whom an antibiotic treatment is indicated as compared with usual care
Detailed Description: Acute Chest Syndrome ACS is a frequent and severe acute complication of sickle-cell disease It may affect 10 to 20 of hospitalized patients and is the leading cause of death The symptoms combine a new pulmonary infiltrate and symptoms among fever cough dyspnea expectoration chest pain and crackles The pathophysiology of ACS is complex and there are many interlinked aetiologies

Lower respiratory tract infection LRTI is one of the most frequent aetiologies of ACS Intracellular bacteria Chlamydia Mycoplasma respiratory virus especially respiratory syncytial virus and pyogenes Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus are the most frequently identified microorganisms Nevertheless the clinical presentation of ACS is not helpful for the diagnosis of LRTI the respiratory tract samples are not always collected either because the patients do not expectorate or because the benefit-risk ratio of a fiberoptic bronchoscopy may be not advantageous Moreover usual diagnostic test are not enough performant

The current practices rely on the systematic administration of antibiotics for 7 to 10 days The efficacy and safety of alternative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies have never been evaluated in controlled clinical trial to cure ACS

In this context the optimisation of the microbiological documentation of ACS might enhance the use of antimicrobial drugs reduce their duration and limit the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria

Therefore we speculate that an early pathogen-directed strategy respiratory broad panel multiplex PCR and early antibiotics interruption based on the PCT values decrease might reduce the antibiotics exposure in SCD patients with ACS who are hospitalized and for whom an antibiotic treatment is indicated as compared with usual care
