Abstract:
In order to determine the significant factors which may contribute to complications in pregnant mothers with sickle cell haemoglobinopathy, a study was considered on 100 mothers (35 SS and 65 AS) and the results were compared with 20 control women with normal haemoglobin electrophoretic pattern. The incidence of vaso-occlusive was significant in mothers with sickle cell disease. Furthermore, it was observed that high levels of fetal haemoglobin did not have any beneficial effect in patients with sickle disease during vaso-occlusive episodes.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
