No. Don't worry.
Accuracy of the CVS Test. Chorionic villus sampling is more than 99 percent accurate when it comes to diagnosing chromosomal results, such as Down syndrome. However, there's a sliver of a chance for a false positive—when the test comes back indicating a genetic problem, but in reality, the baby is developing normally.

For iron overload, one need to take regular oral medicine (chelation therapy). Hope it clears the confusion.

As she is thalassemic, so I think, she is receiving regular blood transfusion. The direct coombs test may become positive in many situations and treatment is completely different for those.

If it is true positive, then we need to do indirect coombs test with specific card (3 card or 11 card) to know whether it is auto immune or allo immune in nature. For details evaluation you need to contact with immuno h...more
