Aplastic anemia and pregnancy – a case report

Journal Title: Ginekologia i Położnictwo medical project - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 38

Abstract

Aplastic anemia is a rare serious disease (2–6 cases/1 million/year), which can be diagnosed also in pregnant women. In the blood count, anemia, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia are present. The symptoms of hemorrhagic diathesis and the tendency to infection with a serious outcome is usually observed. The management of a patient with aplastic anemia during pregnancy requires close cooperation between obstetricians and hematologists. Due to the increased risk of hemorrhage and infections during pregnancy, delivery and post-partum period, there is a significant risk of demise for both the mother and her child. The article presents the case of a 29-year-old patient with pancytopenia (first detected after 14 weeks of gestation) and subsequent aplastic anemia.
