title: Nonimmune hydrops fetalis caused by G6PD deficiency hemolytic crisis and congenital dyserythropoietic anemia.
abstract: We present a case of a female neonate who had a nonimmune hydrops fetalis and severe hemolytic anemia due to a rare combination of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and congenital dyserythropoietic anemia. We conclude that in severe cases with persistent anemia one should search after delivery for a second reason other than G6PD deficiency alone.
