Aplastic anemia associated with pregnancy.

Aplastic anemia is not an uncommon disorder. Estimated frequency is 3-6 per million populations per year. Occurrence of aplastic anemia however, concurrently with pregnancy in a previously healthy woman is a rare phenomenon. Since 1888 when it was first described not more than a handful of cases have been reported in literature. Pregnancy associated with marrow aplasia poses great problems for the hematologist as well as the obstetrician as the management of such a case challenges the skill of both in deciding the best option for the patient. We report a case of a young woman whose pregnancy was complicated by Aplastic anemia.
