Abstract EN

A patient with Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) being treated with INF-a conceived during treatment which continued for the whole course of her pregnancy.

A female infant was born at 40th week of gestation and was found to have a platelet count of 56 × 109 / L which returned to normal after two weeks.

A literature review of similar cases showed no abnormalities in the infants of mothers receiving INF-fl during pregnancy.

The safety of INF-A during pregnancy requires further study before its routine use during pregnancy can be recommended.
