Abstract

Drug overdose precipitated sickle cell crisis leading to death in four cases. Toxicologic studies in life and postmortem examinations showed the deaths to be caused by a combination of the ingested drugs and associated sickle cell crisis. Both the homozygous and heterozygous states in sickle cell disease are susceptible to sickle cell crisis induced by drug overdose.
