Abstract EN
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited defect in the synthesis of hemoglobin characterized by the change of glutamic acid by valine at position 6 in the beta globin chain of hemoglobin.
This simple change leads to a disease that affects organs such as the brain, eyes, lungs, kidneys and liver.
The disease affects millions of people worldwide with a high prevalence in the Middle East.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) also affects millions of people and is caused by a decreased production of insulin by beta cells in the pancreas.
Both diseases have a high prevalence in Bahrain, but the association is rare.
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a relatively uncommon disease with a high clinical and epidemiological variability.
Its association with SCD has been described in few reports.
