Abdominal pregnancy complicated by genital and renal tuberculosts and hemolytic anemia.

Fertility and Sterility
S Semchyshyn, A Cecutti

Abstract

After a 10-year period of primary infertility, a patient presented with abdominal pregnancy. Known to have had previously treated genital tuberculosis, on admission she was found to have renal tuberculosis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. After fetal death, laparotomy was performed and the fetus was removed. The patient's anemia responded well to steroid therapy and she was discharged on antituberculous triple therapy. The literature on hemolytic anemia in pregnancy and in association with tuberculosis, as well as on ectopic gestations, was reviewed.

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) occurs when antibodies directed against the person's own red blood cells (RBCs) cause them to burst (lyse), leading to an insufficient number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in the circulation. Discover the latest research on AIHA here.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
