Coexistence of sickle cell trait and cystic fibrosis.

The aim of this paper is to report in detail the clinical 
and pathological observations in a case of cystic fibrosis showing widely 
disseminated intravascular sickling. To the best of our knowledge no case 
of cystic fibrosis associated with sickle cell trait has been reported 
in the literature. A six month old infant who was diagnosed 
to have cystic fibrosis and sickle cell trait was presented and 
the literature was reviewed for this coexistence.
