Abstract
Sickle cell trait occurs as a result of inheritance of a normal haemoglobin gene (HbA) from one parent and a mutated sickle haemoglobin (HbS) gene from another. Unlike the sickle cell disease, it is considered a benign condition in itself. However, major vaso-occlusive complications have been reported in association with Sickle cell trait, the acute chest syndrome being the most important one. We report the case details of a 32 years male who presented with features of acute chest syndrome and was later found to have sickle cell trait.
