[Management of pregnant women with thalassemia minor].
Owing to the fact that Germany has become the domicile of a great number of aliens from Mediterranean countries, an increasing number of thalassaemia cases have been reported and given cause for a thorough investigation. Since thalassaemia minor is a hereditary disease, a special prophylaxis has to take place in case of pregnancy: 1. examination of child's generator, 2. genetic counselling, 3. embryoscopy and extraction of embryonic blood, 4. if thalassaemia is diagnosed, an abortion should be taken into consideration.
