Follow‐up Study of Survivors after Intra‐uterine Transfusion

Abstract: SUMMARY Between 1965 and 1976 a total of 217 infants received intra‐uterine transfusions. Perinatal and follow‐up data are presented on the 81 survivors, of whom 62 per cent were over five years of age at final follow‐up. Assessment included development and general health, audiometric testing and school performance. Abnormalities were found in 29 of the survivors. In 13 cases these were attributed to haemolytic disease, and all had some neurological deficit such as differing degrees of deafness. 10 others had … Show more

“…In hereby presented case, it was difficult to estimate the prognosis for the fetus, because profound anemia and associated hypoxia could lead to irreversible changes in the fetal brain. The literature data concerning this issue are scarce; nevertheless, they indicate that fetal tolerance to chronic hypoxia due to hemolytic disease is quite high ( 3 ) . We present a case of a successful prenatal treatment of a fetus with advanced hydrops, heart failure, anhydramnios and extremely low blood count.…”
