Abstract: | More than 115 cases of leukemia associated with pregnancy have been reported in the literature. This case is presented because 6-mercaptopurine was used in the management of this disease in late pregnancy, with a result suggestive that this drug should be added to our armamentarium for treatment of acute leukemia complicating late pregnancy without apparent ill effects on the fetus. Its efficacy in acute leukemia has been previously reported by Dameshek1 and Buchenal and associates.2 |
