hematological indices of parents in non-immune hydrops fetalis pregnancie

Non-immune hydrops fetalis

Non immune hydrops fetalis.

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.

Lysosomal storage diseases in non-immune hydrops fetalis pregnancies.

BACKGROUND At least 20 inborn errors of metabolism may cause hydrops fetalis. Most of these are lysosomal storage diseases. The study proposes a diagnostic flowchart for prenatal diagnosis of non-immune hydrops fetalis. METHODS This study contains a series of 75 non-immune hydrops fetalis pregnancies. Mucopolysaccharides, oligosaccharides, neuraminic acid and 21 lysosomal enzymes were measure...

A rare cause of non-immune hydrops fetalis: congenital sialidosis

Sum mary Sialidosis is a rare congenital lysosomal storage disease with autosomal recessive transmission caused by a deficiency of alpha-N-acetylneuraminidase (sialidase). The findings begin in the intrauterine period in congenital type of sialidosis and the cases die in the postnatal period due to hydrops fetalis with multiorgan failure. Here, a case of premature baby born to a consanguineous ...

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. ...
