A Unique case of pregnancy with E beta Thalassemia having history of recurrent pregnancy loss

Abstract

HbE is the second commonest abnormal hemoglobin after sickle cell hemoglobin (HbS). HbE-β-thalassemia is not uncommon in India and pregnancy associated with it has the potential morbidity for mother and fetus. It has been seen that patients who received optimum management have a significantly better pregnancy profile than in routine care. Our case is one such example where with close monitoring and follow up in a patient of pregnancy with Hb E thalassemia with RPL finally delivered a healthy baby at 37 weeks without any maternal morbidity
