The occurrence of systemic lupus erythematosus has been only rarely reported in patients with sickle-cell disease.
We describe the case of a 23-year-old North-African woman with sickle-cell disease and systemic lupus erythematosus, and discuss the pointers to the diagnosis of this combination of conditions and also present a review of literature. The diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus was delayed because our patient's symptoms were initially attributed to sickle-cell disease.
Physicians should be alerted to the possible association of sickle-cell disease and systemic lupus erythematosus so as not to delay correct diagnosis and initiation of appropriate treatment.
镰状细胞病患者中系统性红斑狼疮的发生仅有极少报道。
我们描述了一名患有镰状细胞病和系统性红斑狼疮的23岁北非女性病例，讨论了该疾病组合诊断的要点，并对文献进行了综述。系统性红斑狼疮的诊断被延迟，因为我们患者的症状最初被归因于镰状细胞病。
医生应警惕镰状细胞病与系统性红斑狼疮的可能关联，以免延误正确诊断和开始适当治疗。
