Hydrops Fetalis Caused by α-Thalassemia: An Emerging Health Care Problem

HYDROPS FETALIS is a serious disorder, usually indicative of an ominous prognosis for the affected fetus. There are many causes, including both hereditary and acquired diseases.[1-3][1] In southeast Asia, α-thalassemia is the most common cause of fetal hydrops, accounting for 60% to 90% of the
