Dr. M. Vasundhara, Dr. G. Ratna Kumari, Dr. P. Nalini Kumari
Abstract :
Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is prevalent in areas where there is endemicity for malaria. Heterozygous condition of
sickle hemoglobin is protective against plasmodium falciparum infection. Except from South Africa reports stating
about the association of malaria with sickle cell anaemia were rare. Very few cases were recorded about association of Plasmodium vivax
infection in sickle cell anaemia. The consequences of malaria in SCA may be very severe during acute illness. We present a rare case of vivax
malaria in SCA who had been suffering from tuberculosis.
