  • Title: Streptomycin ototoxicity in the unborn child.
    Author: Donald PR, Sellars SL.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1981 Aug 22; 60(8):316-8. PubMed ID: 7256486.
    Abstract:
    Streptomycin has been used in pregnant patients for more than 30 years. Some doubt, however, still exists with regard to its effects on the ear of the unborn child. Thirty-three children whose mothers had received streptomycin during pregnancy were followed up and their hearing tested. A minor degree of hearing loss which could possible be due to the action of streptomycin was found in only 2 children.
