• Abstract:

  Hereditary spherocytosis (HE) is a rare genetic condition that can cause hemolytic anemia due to defects in the red blood cell membrane. This case report describes a pregnant woman with HE, highlighting the importance of high-risk prenatal care and the challenges faced during pregnancy. The patient was treated with folic acid and ferrous sulfate supplementation, requiring postpartum transfusion. This clinical case provides valuable insights to improve care for women with HE during pregnancy and the postpartum period, aiming to diagnose complications early and prevent risks for the mother and fetus.
