title: [Does the sickle cell trait (heterozygous carrier status) confer protection against malaria?].
abstract: The high frequency of the gene for sickle-cell hemoglobin in malaria-endemic regions is believed to be due to an advantage in surviving malaria. We report the case of a woman with both malaria and hemoglobin S.
