ABSTRACT
Multi-organ failure syndrome [MOFS] is a rare life threatening complication of sickle cell disease. It is precipitated by severe vaso-occlusive episodes. We report a Saudi boy with sickle cell anemia, who developed acute MOFS following anaphylaxis to ceftriaxone administration. He had a dramatic recovery after red blood cell exchange transfusion and peritoneal dialysis
