ABSTRACT
Sickle beta+thalassemia is considered to be a mild form of sickle cell disease. However, some patients with mild disease can present with osteonecrosis. Here, we present a rare 3-year-old male who presented with acute pain, a baseline hemoglobin of 13 g/dL, who acutely developed multifocal osteonecrosis, and improved with partial exchange transfusion and hydroxyurea therapy.
