  • Title: Polycythemia vera and pregnancy: a case report with the use of hydroxyurea in the first trimester.
    Author: Pata O, Tok CE, Yazici G, Pata C, Oz AU, Aban M, Dilek S.
    Journal: Am J Perinatol; 2004 Apr; 21(3):135-7. PubMed ID: 15085495.
    Abstract:
    Polycythemia vera (PV) is rarely associated with pregnancy. A 34-year-old patient treated with hydroxyurea for PV became pregnant and was referred to our clinic. At the patient's request, pregnancy was continued. The patient's hematocrit level remained below 45% without any treatment throughout her pregnancy, and a healthy male infant (without any congenital malformations or complications) was delivered at 37 weeks. This case report suggests that normal pregnancy and delivery is possible in patients with PV.
