Abstract

We present the first documented case of a 69 year-old female with history of sickle cell anemia with hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin that presented due to joint pains and COVID-19 infection. The red blood cell exchange transfusion may play an important factor in preventing intubations and longer hospital stays.
