[Acute leukemia and pregnancy]
It is reported on an undifferentiated cell leukosis of the type PAS in the 2nd trimenon of a pregnancy. The paralymphoblastosis could well be influenced by a prednisolone monotherapy so that a healthy baby was born. After birth very quickly developed a severe recidivation of leucosis which no more could be influenced therapeutically so that the patient dies on the 10th day after birth. The problems of the therapy of undifferentiated cell leucosis during pregnancy are discussed and possible hormonal protective mechanisms are taken into consideration.
