ABSTRACT
This case report describes a rare occurrence of the coexistence of sickle cell disease (SCD) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a 33-year-old female. The overlapping clinical manifestations posed diagnostic challenges, leading to a delayed diagnosis. The patient's presentation with pericardial effusion and tamponade during a concurrent SLE flare highlights the complexity of managing these conditions. The case underscores the importance of heightened clinical awareness and multidisciplinary collaboration for accurate diagnosis and timely intervention in such rare comorbidities.
