Aplastic Anemia during Pregnancy with Complete Remission: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
The association of aplastic anemia (AA) and pregnancy is exceptional and there are no clear guidelines for its management, It could be life threatening for both mother and child and a challenge to the hematologist as well as the obstetrician. Sometimes it improves spontaneously after delivery. We report a case of pregnant woman in whom severe AA was diagnosed, managed during pregnancy with supportive therapy leading to normal delivery of a full term healthy foetus, with good outcome after a follow up of three years.
