Blackwater fever is characterized by severe intravascular hemolysis with renal failure caused by recurrent use of quinine for prophylaxis. Once described in European patients, sporadic cases have been reported more and more often in autochthonous Africans and Asians. Newer antimalarials including aminoalchohol mefloquine, and halofantrine have also been implicated in Blackwater fever. In this report we describe two cases of blackwater fever involving patients with sickle cell anemia (HbSS). Symptoms including fever, acute hemolytic anemia, emesis, back pain, and hemoglobinuria were characteristic of blackwater fever. Both patients died. Although the underlying mechanism of blackwater fever remains unclear, a likely explanation is an immunoallergic reaction to quinine. Association with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency has often been reported. Our cases suggest that blackwater fever may also be correlated with hemoglobinopathy such as HbSS.
