Abstract	The rare combination of sickle cell trait with hereditary spherocytosis in a Sudanese family is reported. The splenic hypofunction and fibrosis as a result of sickling has ameliorated the clinical course of the 35 year old father. The symptoms of a six years old son seem to be getting milder with age too. The family is managed conservatively and splenectomy was not required.
