Abstract
Abstract: Hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia, are genetic disorders that can manifest with diverse clinical presentations. Recognizing variations in hematological profiles is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management, particularly in regions where certain hemoglobinopathies are not so prevalent such as in regions of North India. Such hematological profiles can present simply as nonspecific lymphadenopathy. Here, we present a case of a 16-year-old boy with a complex presentation involving widespread lymphadenopathy, initially misdiagnosed as tuberculosis, ultimately revealing a dual hemoglobinopathy thus implying the need for family screening and consideration of late-onset hemoglobinopathies in cases with atypical presentations.
