Hydrops fetalis–associated congenital dyserythropoietic anemia treated with intrauterine transfusions and bone marrow transplantation

Abstract: Hydrops fetalis is rarely caused by congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA). We report a patient with hydrops fetalis as a result of severe anemia. This patient needed intrauterine transfusions from 21 weeks of gestation until birth. The hematologic study showed an atypical CDA (hydrops fetalis-associated CDA) characterized by features resembling CDA type II, but negative acidified serum lysis test (HEMPAS negative). The patient was regularly transfused for a year, after which an allogeneic bone marrow trans… Show more

“…As noted previously, BM transplantation is curative for CDAII, 75,83,84 suggesting that the erythroblast defect is intrinsic to the hematopoietic compartment. Multiple congenital dyserythropoietic disorders (reviewed in Iolascon et al 96 ) share common features with CDAII.…”

“…Thus, it is surprising that deficiency of a key, ubiquitously expressed component of the COPII coat, SEC23B, results in a phenotype that is apparently restricted to the red blood cell. Reports of curative allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for CDAII suggest that the mechanism responsible for the erythroid defect is intrinsic to the hematopoietic compartment (9,16,17).…”

“…1 Intrauterine blood transfusions have been administered before to fetuses with homozygous a-thalassemia and other hematologic disorders associated with fetal demise. 6,7 It is rare for nontransfused fetuses to survive postnatally; reported survivors have generally required resuscitation at birth. [2][3][4][5] Once a patient is stabilized on a chronic transfusion regimen, the medical issues are comparable to those of children with b-thalassemia major.…”
