Mahmud presented with complaints of severe pains in his limbs, abdomen and back. prior to the onset of the pain he was said to have suffered from a febrile illness. On presentation at our hospital, he was evaluated and diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease Crisis.

Mahmud, who's a known sickle cell disease patient was admitted in our facility and managed as a case of Vaso-Ocpatients crisis precipitated by Malaria. He was stabilized, had his complete dosages of antimalarials and other supportive medications. He responded well to the treatment as presenting symptoms subsided.
