title: [Beta-thalassemia and pregnancy: 2 rare cases].
abstract: Our experience of beta-thalassemia during pregnancy is limited to 2 rare cases. The first patient suffered from beta(0)/beta(+) thalassemia, and therapy consisted of 300 ml of concentrated red cells every month and deferoxamine. During pregnancy the patient received 300 ml of concentrated red cells every week, and a healthy child was born by cesarean section. The second patient suffered from Cooley's disease till 1985. She received many transfusions but was allergic to deferoxamine. Later, bone marrow transplantation was successful. Her normal full-term pregnancy concluded with the birth of a healthy child.
