Yes, lupus can sometimes be mistaken for sickle cell disease in young children due to overlapping symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, and anemia. Both conditions can present with similar clinical features, making diagnosis challenging. However, specific laboratory tests and clinical evaluations can help differentiate between the two. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment.

If sickle-cell anemia is so destructive why hasn't the sickle-cell allele been eliminated from the population?

It is important to note that sickle-cell anemia comes in two forms. The homozygous sickle-cell anemia and the heterozygous sickle-cell trait. The difference between the two is that sickle-cell anemia has a high rate death rate at a young age (20~), and the sickle-cell trait is nearly asymptomatic.In regions such as North America, sickle-cell anemia would be selected against and would eventually leave the gene pool. The sickle-cell trait on the other hand, has little effect on the fitness of the organism, and as such will remain in the gene pool.In malaria endemic regions such as sub-Sahara Africa, sickle-cell anemia provides very high levels of immunity to malaria and the sickle-cell trait provides a slightly lesser level of immunity. Both forms of sickle-cell will increase the organisms fitness and as such, it will remain in the gene pool. Further on, the sickle-cell trait has greater fitness than sickle-cell anemia, hence, the sickle-cell trait will be selected as the fittest allele.If s is the sickle-cell allele and S is a normal allele;The relative fitness in malaria endemic regions;Ss > ss > SSSickle-cell trait > Sickle-cell anemia > NormalThe relative fitness in non-malaria endemic regions;SS > Ss > ssNormal > Sickle-cell trait > Sickle-cell anemia
