Abstract
14 cases of pregnancy‐associated autoimmune haemolytic anaemia were analyzed. 4 cases were diagnosed during pregnancy; 10 cases became pregnant during the remission period of the disease. 6 cases were secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus. In the first group, the anaemia developed in the third trimester whereas in the second group the Hb fell slightly in the first trimester and rapidly between the third and fourth month of gestation. Only 1 case could withstand the hazard of pregnancy uneventfully; 4 needed corticosteroid and delivered normal infants; 2 developed toxaemia of pregnancy; in 5, either therapeutic or spontaneous abortion was noted and 1 death occurred due to renal complication. Abortion was induced in 1 case due to socio‐economic indications. © Munksgaard 1983
