Abstract:
Anemia is common in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The association between thalassemia and SLE is rare. In this study, we report the first patient who was found to have a severe hemolytic anemia caused by combination of SLE and Hb H disease. The patient had a more severe presentation in the hematological system. Our case indicates that for a patient who was diagnosed with SLE and developed deterioration in her hematological cell lines, investigation of other possible coexisting causes would be warranted.
