Complications of delayed diagnosis and challenges: successfully managed SPTB gene variant hereditary spherocytosis with hepatocellular jaundice—a case report

This case underscores the importance of a thorough clinical examination, spending the time to review a case periodically without assuming the initial diagnosis is correct, and maintaining a healthy skepticism of inconsistent data to prevent misdiagnosis and mistreatment. The diagnostic delay highlights the need for increased awareness and familiarity with diagnostic modalities of hereditary spherocytosis among healthcare providers in Ethiopia.

Abstract

This case underscores the importance of a thorough clinical examination, spending the time to review a case periodically without assuming the initial diagnosis is correct, and maintaining a healthy skepticism of inconsistent data to prevent misdiagnosis and mistreatment. The diagnostic delay highlights the need for increased awareness and familiarity with diagnostic modalities of hereditary spherocytosis among healthcare providers in Ethiopia.
