摘要
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.
