J Obstet Gynaecol Res. 2003 Apr;29(2):67-72. doi: 10.1046/j.1341-8076.2002.00077.x.

Abstract

Aim: To study the maternal and fetal outcome in cases of aplastic anemia associated with pregnancy.

Method: Retrospective analysis of seven cases of aplastic anemia diagnosed during pregnancy.

Result: Four patients had an overall successful pregnancy outcome. These were all cases of non-severe aplastic anemia. There was one case each of intrauterine and neonatal death in the severe aplastic anemia group. There was one maternal mortality.

Conclusion: Maternal and fetal outcome is poor in severe aplastic anemia.
