Abstract
HIV positive women of reproductive age are increasingly treated with a comb ination of antiretroviral agents, with effects on the developing human fetu s that are largely unknown. We report two cases of severe spinal malformati ons in the fetuses of women treated with combination antiretroviral therapy and co-trimoxazole. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
