  • Title: [Periodic disease and pregnancy].
    Author: Cousin C, Palaric JC, Jacquemard F, Lucas J, Giraud JR.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 1991; 20(4):554-61. PubMed ID: 1885892.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of familial Mediterranean fever in a pregnant woman treated with Colchicine. She delivered normally at term. A review of the literature shows that colchicine does not have a teratogenic effect which it was long thought to have. All the same it is best to carry out fetal karyotype examination using early amniocentesis. Furthermore, colchicine improves fertility which is disturbed in these patients and pregnancy has a good effect on the disease.
