Abstract | Recent advances allow detection of the homozygous of alpha and beta-thalassemia in early pregnancy, thus giving couples at risk the option of early abortion. However, at the Prince of Wales Hospital, no reduction has occurred in the number of births of infants with haemoglobin Bart's hydrops foetalis. A survey by the authors has revealed a total of 33 cases during the seven years from 1987 to 1993. |
