Case Report: Management of COVID-19 in a Sickle Cell Anaemia Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

This case report presents the management of COVID-19 in a 19-year-old female with a known history of sickle cell anaemia. The patient displayed typical COVID-19 symptoms with the feature of sickle cell anaemia, crises. Laboratory analysis confirmed COVID-19. The management involved a blood transfusion and a specific medication regimen to alleviate the patient’s symptoms. Importantly, blood transfusions could potentially contribute to the patient’s positive outcome, suggesting their importance in similar cases. This case highlights the challenges modelled by the intersection of COVID-19 and sickle cell anaemia. This combination of diseases needs early intervention and multidisciplinary care. Early identification and management of COVID-19 in sickle cell anaemia patients are crucial. Early intervention may play a vital role in optimising outcomes.
