  • Title: A family with sickle cell trait and hereditary spherocytosis.
    Author: Babiker MA, El Seed FA.
    Journal: Scand J Haematol; 1984 Jul; 33(1):54-8. PubMed ID: 6463586.
    Abstract:
    The rare combination of sickle cell trait with hereditary spherocytosis in a Sudanese family is reported. The splenic hypofunction and fibrosis as a result of sickling has ameliorated the clinical course of the 35 year old father. The symptoms of a six years old son seem to be getting milder with age too. The family is managed conservatively and splenectomy was not required.
