Abstract
The case of a 23-year-old patient with sickle cell anemia and coexisting iron deficiency is described. The iron deficiency was not a result of phlebotomies, hematuria, or a gastrointestinal lesion, but was most likely the result of intravascular hemolysis and the rapid turnover of irreversibly sickled cells. This syndrome is commonly confused with sickle β'-thalassemia. ( JAMA 1982;247:1442-1443)
