Overview

Authors present a case report of a newborn with severe anemia caused by fetomaternal haemorrhage. The mother with muscle dystrophy came to the delivery room with the perception of decreased fetal movements. Pathological cardiotocogram was the indication for urgent ceasarean section in the 36th gestation week. After delivery the complete resuscitation was needed. Severe anemia in the blood count required repeated transfusions of red blood cells. After exclusion of other causes of anemia, the reason for severe anemia in our patient was fetomaternal haemorrhage. It was confirmed by the presence of fetal hemoglobin in maternal blood.

Key words:
fetomaternal hemorrhage, newborn, anemia, fetal hemoglobin, prognosis
