AbstractChemotherapeutic agents administered to the mother during pregnancy may severely jeopardize the fetus. We describe a newborn girl who had been exposed to idarubicin and cytosine-arabinoside during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy due to treatment of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia in the mother. The child had no structural congenital abnormalities. Adverse effects observed were prematurity, growth retardation, mildly disturbed transaminases and erythroblastosis, all of which were self-limiting with no permanent sequelae.
