With the decline in the frequency of rhesus isoimmunisation, hydrops fetalis secondary to other factors is becoming increasingly recognised. We describe a case in association with chorioangioma of the placenta. The causes of non immune hydrops are reviewed and the problems of management discussed.

Aetiology of hydrops fetalis.

These 2 cases provide additional examples of HUS occurring in sibs after a long interval. The family resided in New York City, which is not considered as an endemic area for HUS, and the clinical course of the disease in both infants was almost identical, culminating in early death. The aetiology of HUS may indeed be multiple, and the genetic basis for a significant proportion of cases does not...

Human parvovirus B19 associated non-immune hydrops fetalis.

Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) in a relatively rare syndrome associated with different etiologies, usually due to chromosomal aberrations or cardiac anomalies. Human parvovirus B 19 (HPV B 19) associated intrauterine infections. NIHF and fetal loss have been reported lately. HPV B19 passes through the placenta and infects eiythroid progenitor cells with subsequent lysis, anemia and hydrops. ...
