“…In this review, 16 patients (36%) met at least one of these criteria. 3,5,6,9,10,12,15,[17][18][19][21][22][23][24] However, hematological laboratory evaluation is not very specific and, separately, it does not contribute to the clinical suspicion of coexistence of both diseases. In most cases, SLE anemia is initially normocytic and normochromic and, if persistent, evolves into microcytosis and hypochromia.…”

Descriptors used: 1. Sickle cell anemia; 2. Sickle cell disease; 3. Systemic lupus erythematosus; 4. Hemoglobinopathies. Results: The authors describe an association between SLE and SS hemoglobinopathy in an eight-year-old female patient presentingarticular, hematologic and neuropsychiatric manifestations during clinical evolution. Forty-five cases of association between SLE and SCD are described in literature, mostly adults (62.2%), women (78%) and with the SS phenotype in 78% of the cases, and diverse clinical manifestations. Compared with our patient, articular, hematologic and neuropsychiatric manifestations were present in 76%, 36% and 27% of the cases, respectively.Conclusion: SLE and SCD are chronic diseases that have several clinical and laboratory findings in common, meaning difficult diagnosis and difficulty in finding the correct treatment.Although the association between these diseases is not common, it is described in literature, so it is imperative that physicians who treat such diseases be alert to this possibility.

“…5,6,[9][10][11][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] The difficulty in diagnosing the coexistence of these two diseases is due to the fact both have articular manifestations. Hence, SCD patients' joint complaints are interpreted as vaso-occlusive crises, delaying the diagnosis of SLE.…”

“…5,6,[9][10][11][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] A dificuldade diagnóstica de se pensar na coexistência entre essas duas doenças deve-se ao fato de ambas cursarem com manifestaç ões articulares. Dessa forma, as queixas articulares do paciente com DF são interpretadas como crises vaso-oclusivas atrasando o diagnóstico do LES.…”

“…This may suggest an etiopathological link between these two phenomena. Coexistence of SCD and SLE has been reported by several authors, and due to their overlapping clinical features, making the diagnosis of CTD in the presence of SCD is somewhat difficult [2,4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with sickle-cell and autoimmune/connective tissue diseases

2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Patients with sickle-cell disease who develop autoimmune connective tissue disorders can present with similar clinical manifestations and/or complications making them indistinguishable. We report here a single-institution study on a cohort of 24 patients, with the above combination. The results suggest that there is often a significant delay in making the second diagnosis because of the overlapping clinical profile. It is emphasized that the clinician should be aware of and vigilant about such cases and should diligently follow up such cases to make an early diagnosis and start the appropriate treatment.
