Abstract:
Aplastic anemia in pregnancy is an extremely rare condition with high maternal morbidity and mortality rates. Prognosis is poorer when aplastic anemia is complicated during pregnancy and many such patients have an unsuccessful pregnancy outcome. The relationship between aplastic anemia and pregnancy remains uncertain. Intensive hematological support remains the mainstay of therapy and a successful obstetric outcome can be best accomplished with the close clinical collaboration of the hematologist and the obstetrician. We report here a case of a 24-year-old woman with aplastic anemia, she experienced two consecutive vaginal deliveries. We present it with brief review of literature.
