Abdominal pregnancy complicated by genital and renal tuberculosts and hemolytic anemia.
After a 10-year period of primary infertility, a patient presented with abdominal pregnancy. Known to have had previously treated genital tuberculosis, on admission she was found to have renal tuberculosis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. After fetal death, laparotomy was performed and the fetus was removed. The patient's anemia responded well to steroid therapy and she was discharged on antituberculous triple therapy. The literature on hemolytic anemia in pregnancy and in association with tuberculosis, as well as on ectopic gestations, was reviewed.
