The objective of this study was to accomplish systematic revision on the clinical complications and types of diagnosis of the bearers of that disease , as well as showing the gr eat importance of neonatal screening . Scientific publications were selected on Medline and Lilacs and SciELO through doPubmed available between the years 2000 and 2014, were included in the analysis sickle cell anemia , clinical aspects related to complica tions , laboratory diagnosis and neonatal screening . The results showed that, of the 29 selected articles , 03 ( 10.3%) were published between 2002 and 2004 , 6 ( 20.7%) between 2005 and 2007 , 13 ( 44.8%) between 2008 and 2010 and 7 ( 24.1) between 2011 and 2013. Regarding the concept and definition of sickle cell anemia , all 29 articles approached a little about the subject ; 6 ( 18.2%) detached the epidemiology and its worldwide distribution ; 7 ( 24.1%) covered the clinical manifestations of the disease ; 20 ( 68.9%) include laboratory diagnostics and neonatal screening . The m ost studies happened i n Brazil , the Northeast Region , and the capitals of Fortaleza and Salvador presented the highest prevalence of sickle cell anemia. The most common clinical manifestations we re infections and splenic sequestration . The best method for detection of sickle cell anemia was highly sensitive and reproducible H igh Performance Liquid Chromatography ( HPLC), highly sensitive and reproducible. Sickle cell disease is still associated wit h high morbidity and mortality , and this scenary neonatal screening is an effective tool for early precocious detection and administration of this disease .
