Perinatal Anemia
Symptoms and Signs of Perinatal Anemia
Symptoms and signs of perinatal anemia are similar regardless of the cause but vary with severity and rate of onset of the anemia. Neonates are generally pale and, if anemia is severe, have tachypnea, tachycardia, and sometimes a flow murmur; hypotension is present with acute blood loss. Jaundice may be present with hemolysis.
