ABSTRACT
|
The simultaneous occurrence of pregnancy in case of chronic myelogenous leukemia is relatively uncommon. We describe successful management of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in a 24-year-old woman in her first and second pregnancies using different medications. In her first pregnancy, she was started on PEG-interferon and delivered a baby girl in good condition at 40th week. After seven months she again got pregnant with twin pregnancy and was managed by hydroxyurea. She delivered twin girls in good condition by spontaneous vaginal delivery at 38th week.
