A severe transfusion-dependent congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia presenting as hydrops fetalis.

We describe a case of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia (CDA) presenting at week 20 of pregnancy with hydrops fetalis and very severe anaemia. Fetal blood examination showed marked erythroblastosis with morphologic alterations while the basic haematological and biochemical tests were in the normal range. The fetus received intravascular red blood cells transfusion at 20 and 25 weeks of gestation. After a caesarean section at week 33 the child became transfusion dependent. Haematological investigations demonstrated that the child is affected by a CDA-like picture which, although morphologically similar to CDA II, is Ham test negative and does not show the typical membrane proteins alterations.

Rh negative status and isoimmunization update: a case-based approach to care.

Prior to the 1970s and the advent of Rho (D) immune globulin (RIG) for Rh negative women, hemolytic disease of the newborn led to morbidity, long-term disabilities, and mortality. Antepartum RIG administration has been a standard of practice since 1983. Yet, Rh isoimmunization (sensitization) and its sequelae have not been completely eradicated. Rh-related issues remain clinical challenges facing perinatal and neonatal nurses. Evidence for the administration of RIG prenatally and during the postpartum period is presented including controversies and challenges. Current information about fetal and neonatal care of erythroblastosis fetalis and immune hydrops is also presented.
