Abstract
A preterm baby, whose mother received chemotherapy for acute leukaemia during pregnancy, required intensive care because of profound anaemia and neutropenia. Haemopoietic progenitor cell studies showed fetal ma rrow suppression. Those caring for such mothers and babies should know the possible serious effects chemotherapy for malignancies can have o n a developing fetus. Long term follow up of the baby is imperative.
