BACKGROUND: @entity775 is a rare chronic disease that mainly affects young @entity1 and may influence fertility and pregnancy in these @entity1 . OBJECTIVES: To describe pregnancy and labor in a @entity1 suffering from @entity775 and to review the relevant literature. METHODS: Computerized literature research. RESULTS: The disease of 9 years' duration did not relapse during pregnancy under continuous treatment with @entity230 , cytotoxic drugs, @entity10055 and @entity2221 . Pregnancy was uneventful and ended with preterm vaginal delivery at 35 weeks, of a 2299 gram healthy neonate. The @entity1 did well during the postpartum period and 6 months thereafter. Since there is no single diagnostic test for the disease, the diagnosis is based on the combination of clinical, laboratory, and histopathological findings and by exclusion of other causes of @entity99 . CONCLUSIONS: There is paucity of data in the literature on pregnancy in these @entity1 but the treatment protocols seem to be effective for the mother and safe for the fetus. @entity2241 rates appear to be currently lower than in the past. Given that relapse cannot be predicted, close surveillance during pregnancy is warranted.
