Abstract 2- Out of the 500 pregnant women, only 5 showed positive sickl~ng (1%). However, only 2 out of the 5 cases with positive si~kling revealed the presence of minimal amounts of Hb-S by cellulose-acetate electrophoresis; indicating that they are sickle cell. trait carriers (0.4% of cases).No sickle cell anemia cases were detected. 3- Data obtained about obstetric performance in previous pregnancies in the 5 cases with positive sickling and the two cases with sickle cell trait revealed a non significant difference from obstetric performance of the control group. 4-Hematological parameters reflect 8 benign condition dur- .ing pregnancy among sickle cell trait patients, except .the likelihood of development of normocytic-nonmochromlc anemia. |
