Concurrent Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis with Sickling Hemoglobinopathy

Abstract Rheumatic heart disease, particularly rheumatic mitral stenosis and hemoglobinopathies, especially HbS can pose a problem in pregnancy. Though both these conditions have a high incidence and considerable geographic overlap in India, very few studies have reported these diseases occurring concurrently. This is a report of concurrent recently diagnosed rheumatic mitral stenosis and undiagnosed sickling hemoglobinopathy in a post-partum woman.
