Abstract
This study reported the outcome of a case of fetal hemolytic disease after multiple intrauterine transfusions due to Rh incompatibility between the mother and fetus. The pregnant women had a history of termination for fetal edema at 29 weeks of gestation due to undecided reason as no relevant tests were conducted. Fetal edema was found and hemolytic disease (severe anemia) was diagnosed at 24 gestational weeks in the index pregnancy. After five intrauterine transfusions, fetal edema and anemia were improved. The baby who was born by cesarean section at 33 gestational weeks, was diagnosed with hemolytic disease and transferred to the neonatology department. After one month of treatment, the baby was improved and discharged. Whereafter he was followed up to one year of age without any abnormality in physical or mental development. Key words: Erythroblastosis, fetal; Rh-Hr blood-group system; Blood group incompatibility; Blood transfusion, intrauterine
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine was founded in May 1998. It is one of the journals of the Chinese Medical Association, which is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by Peking University First Hospital. Perinatal medicine is a new discipline jointly studied by obstetrics and neonatology. The purpose of this journal is to "prenatal and postnatal care, improve the quality of the newborn population, and ensure the safety and health of mothers and infants". It reflects the new theories, new technologies, and new progress in perinatal medicine in related disciplines such as basic, clinical and preventive medicine, genetics, and sociology. It aims to provide a window and platform for academic exchanges, information transmission, and understanding of the development trends of domestic and foreign perinatal medicine for the majority of perinatal medicine workers in my country.
