Abstract
Sideroblastic anemias are a diverse group of hypoproliferative anemias characterized by defective iron use within erythropoietic cells and a defect in heme biosynthesis. This report describes the first case of successive pregnancies in a patient with idiopathic sideroblastic anemia. Periodic transfusions with washed erythrocytes and oral pyridoxine resulted in normal maternal and perinatal outcome.
