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.
