Abstract
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is common in some part of India especially area inhabited by the Dravidian Tribal Population. Co-existence of Sickle Cell Disease with Rheumatic Heart Disease is not uncommon. The clinical findings in sickle cell anemia closely simulate those of rheumatic heart disease. This poses an important diagnostic challenge for the clinicians. Availability of 2-D Echocardiography has made it simpler to diagnose rheumatic heart disease in patients with sickle cell anemia whenever there is mixed symptoms & signs in a patient. We hereby report a case of Sickle Cell Disease with Rheumatic Heart Disease.
