Abstract

A six-year-old girl with sickle cell disease and severe asthma was treated for status asthmaticus on several occasions. Sickle cell crises appeared to be precipitated by the asthmatic episodes. The interactions between these two disease processes are discussed and a treatment protocol for the rare patient with both of these diseases is proposed.
