Among 106 pregnant women with anaemia a typical state of iron deficiency could be shown at only 36.8%. 22.5% of the patients had a decreased vitamin B12 level without any characteristic symptoms of a megaloblastic anaemia. Predominantly the grade of the anaemia was small. The mean value of hemoglobin lied at 7.1 +/- 0.59 mmol/l. The severity of the anaemia didn't show any connection to the vitamin B12 level or parameters of the iron metabolism. With a combined therapy of iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 an increase of the Hb-level could be noticed at only 44.3% of the patients. The haematological findings, taken before the therapy, as well as the therapy results show that an important part of anaemias in pregnancy is caused by a complex genesis as a result of immunological reactions in pregnancy.
