Romatoid Artrit ve Orak Hücreli Anemi Birlikteliği; Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, autoimmune disease that primarily affects the synovial joints. Sickle cell anemia is a chronic inherited disease with vaso-occlusive attacks associated with hemoglobin structure defect. The coexistence of rheumatoid arthritis and sickle cell anemia is rarely reported in the literature. In this case report, the diagnosis and treatment plan of a 26-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia and applied to our outpatient clinic with bilateral hand arthritis findings will be presented in the light of the literature.
