Abstract
Gross anemia accompanied by an enlarged spleen packed with sickled erythrocytes occurred in cases of fatal collapse of pregnant African women just before childbirth. The crises may have been due to the added oxygen demands of the nearly mature fetus plus the normal hemocon-centration characteristic of late pregnancy.Keywords
