As the clinical course of COVID-19 infection in SCD patients is not
clear, close monitoring is essential. We emphasize that RBC exchange
should be offered early to avoid possible deterioration. We present a
case of COVID-19 infection in a SCD patient causing severe hemolysis,
that improved after RBC exchange.11 Dec 2020Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 14 Dec 2020Submission Checks Completed
