Alpha+ -thalassaemia and pregnancy in a malaria endemic region of Papua New Guinea.

British journal of haematology - 1 Oct 2006

O'Donnell A, Raiko A, Clegg J B, Weatherall D J, Allen S J

Abstract excerpt

The effect of maternal alpha+ -thalassaemia on pregnancy was assessed in the north coastal region of Papua New Guinea (PNG), where malaria is hyperendemic and alpha+ -thalassaemia is extremely common. In a prospective study of 987 singleton hospital deliveries, we correlated maternal alpha-globin...
