... of allogeneic transfusions. Pregnancy, delivery, and the puerperium are associated with increased rates of iron deficiency and anemia, which correlates with worse maternal and fetal outcomes and places pregnant women at increased risk of obstetric hemorrhage. Summary: Early screening for iron deficiency before...

...Jesse Cottrell; Ahlim Al Sanani; Iheanyichukwu Ogu; David Chaffin Introduction: Triple antibody positive antiphospholipid syndrome during pregnancy carries a poor prognosis. The placental vasculature is particularly vulnerable to these antibodies resulting in a marked increased risk of fetal growth...

... chest syndrome, and chronic hemolysis. These clinical sequelae usually increase during pregnancy. Given the racial distribution of SCD, patients with SCD are also more likely to have rarer RBC antigen genotypes than RBC donor populations. We present the management and clinical outcome of a 21-year-old...

... immunoglobulins (IVIG) may prevent or at least delay the development of fetal anemia in the presence of alloantibodies to RBCs is highly relevant. Patients and Results: Here we describe a patient with high-titer anti-K and two other severely affected pregnant women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss due...

... by ADAMTS13 gene analysis. We present a unique case of USS with low titers of ADAMTS13 antibodies before pregnancy. Interestingly, titers of ADAMTS13 antibodies decreased to almost undetectable levels after delivery. Case Report : In patient LL4, the diagnosis of USS was confirmed at age 27 by ADAMTS13 gene...

... autologous whole blood collection was well tolerated. There were no signs of HDFN in the healthy newborn. Conclusion: Our case improves our understanding of anti-Hy alloantibodies during pregnancy. Additionally, autologous whole blood collection of RBC units with cryopreservation is a safe and feasible way...

... with the serum of the mother. Conclusion: The presence of anti-D and anti-C in the eluate from then new-born's Ccddee erythrocytes proved anti-G or anti-G in combination with anti-D. When anti-C and anti-D are seen during a pregnancy, possibly anti-G is present. This observation is of relevance since women...
