Abstract

Sickle cell disease is the most common inherited hemoglobinopathy associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. It is often diagnosed at an early age. Presentation for the first time in pregnancy as leucoerythroblastosis is rare. Diagnosis requires a strong suspicion with the demonstration of hemoglobin S in blood.

Keywords: Sickle cell anemia, Pregnancy, Leucoerythroblastosis, Nucleated red blood cells.
