Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and total beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) concentrations were measured at the 15th gestational week in ten pregnancies complicated by fetal sacrococcygeal teratoma. The findings corresponded to those in normal pregnancies. Similarly. third-trimester co

Second-trimester maternal serum screening for fetal Down's syndrome is well established in many Western countries. Its usefulness and acceptability is unknown in the Asian countries. Between June 1994 and December 1996, we offered second-trimester serum AFP and hCG screening to pregnant women in Hon
Maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MS-AFP) and human gonadotropin (MS-hCG) were retrospectively determined in 137 sera from 65 pregnant women with an acute parvovirus B19 infection. In 35 of the pregnant women, fetal complications occurred (group 1); in the remaining 30 women, there were no fetal com
Fetal cells are present in the circulation of pregnant women and can be isolated using density gradient centrifugation and magnetic cell sorting. In the present study, maternal cell preparations were depleted for CD45and CD14-positive cells and enriched for CD71-positive cells. The number of fetal n
