ABSTRACT
As sickle cell disease is increasing in Australia, paediatricians and other health care providers need to be aware of the broad range of complications that can occur in this condition. Although the complications of splenic sequestration and chest crises are well recognised, the infrequent but equally dramatic complication of hyperhaemolysis is less well appreciated. Here, we report a case of hyperhaemolysis in a Victorian paediatric patient.
