Prenatal Diagnosis and Management of Fetal Anemia Caused by Compound Heterozygous Hemoglobin Q-Thailand and Hemoglobin Constant Spring
Hb QT/CS disease can lead to fetal anemia and hydrops fetalis. However, the severity of anemia in this case improves as the pregnancy progresses toward term. If the fetus survives the critical period in utero without significant organ damage from anemia, a favorable long-term prognosis is possible. This report is the first to describe the prenatal diagnosis, natural course, and intrauterine treatment of Hb QT/CS disease with a successful outcome.
