Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemias are chronic hemolytic diseases that may induce three types of acute accidents: severe anemia, severe bacterial infections, and ischemic vasoocclusive accidents (VOA) caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells obstructing small blood vessels and capillaries. Many diverse complications can occur.

Shock

The state in which profound and widespread reduction of effective tissue perfusion leads first to reversible, and then if prolonged, to irreversible cellular injury.

We present a case involving a patient with sickle cell and hyposplenism, in which refractory septic shock quickly responded after the infusion of intravenous gammaglobulin (IV-GG) given as an adjuvant-rescue therapy A 30-year-old African-American female with history of Sickle Cell disease was admitted for acute chest syndrome, septic shock and respiratory failure.
