ABSTRACT
We describe a case of a patient suffering from benign osteopetrosis and sickle-cell beta+ thalassaemia. This case allows us to study the combined action of various pathogenetic mechanism involved in both diseases. The coexistence of osteopetrosis with sickle-cell beta+ thalassaemia seems to intensify the anaemia and sickling, but does not appear to modify the course of the osteopetrosis.
