Both Sickle cell disease (SCD) and Tuberculosis (TB) are prevalent, and mostly concentrated in similar geographic areas. Since there is an overlap of the possible presenting symptoms of SCD complications and TB, a low threshold for suspicion of TB in these patients is recommended. We present a case of an active TB infection in a SCD patient that presented mainly with chronic cough.
镰状细胞病（SCD）和结核病（TB）都很常见，且大多集中在相似的地理区域。由于SCD并发症和TB可能出现的症状存在重叠，因此建议对这些患者保持较低的TB怀疑阈值。我们报告一例主要表现为慢性咳嗽的SCD患者发生活动性TB感染的病例。
