It is still controversial that whether a patient with leukemia could be impregnated or not, and that she will be able to carry on her pregnancy. We have experienced a case of erythroleukemia who has passed normal delivery and been alive for further one and half years. Following delivery, she was readmitted on the seventh days because of fever, and was discharged four months later after chemotherapy. She was working until she died of pneumonia. From this clinical experience, we would like to propose the points as follows:
1) This is a case of erythroleukemia who has passed normal delivery and been alive for one and half years after her diagnosis was made. It suggests that even a patient with erythroleukemia can be impregnated.
2) Pregnancy may carry on if the chemotherapeutic managements are well taken. Pregnancy may not effect on the course of leukemia. Even if it does effect, it would not be the direct cause of death.
3) It seems that artficial abortion should be avoided because of the exacerbation of leukemia due to sudden interruption of hormonal excretion of endocrine organs, especially adrenals, after it was done.
