As covid19 case pulmonary infection, the current study focuses on sickle cell disease patients are suitable to acute chest syndrome. It will clarify the risk factors for covid19 infection and its clinical features in sickle cell disease. It also reviews the radiological findings to gain more data on this pandemic disease. The current study includes 44 cases of sickle cell disease having covid19 infection. The entire cases include sickle cell disease only in 89% whereas the other sickle cell disease cases are coexisted with beta- thalassemia in 9.1%. The fourth decade is the highest peak incidence. There are several complications found to be in sickle cell disease are acute chest syndrome, chronic leg ulcer, renal failure exceeding 10%. The bronchial asthma found to be in 6.9% and avascular necrosis found to be 11.4% whereas the cerebrovascular accident found to be in 13.8%. The radiological changes include lung tissues, alveoli, pleural cavities and pulmonary arteries in different rate. The incidence of recovery found to be in 93% whereas the death found to be in 7%. It found to be involving in respiratory and gastrointestinal systems result in different clinical features in different rate.
