[Cystic fibrosis and pregnancy. Current results of a study (1980-1990)].
This study is a recent collection of data on 19 women with cystic fibrosis who became pregnant between 1980 and 1990. The following data have been recorded:--age at diagnosis, progress of disease prior and during pregnancy, and during confinement. Satisfactory clinical score values and the fact that the mean age at diagnosis was 10.5 years indicated a less serious nature of the disease in the group studied. Pregnancy was complicated by pulmonary exacerbations and by poor weight gain in two thirds of cases. No maternal deaths during pregnancy and delivery were recorded. Abortions were induced in two pregnancies. More than one third of newborns were premature. It is noteworthy that of the 22 infants 16 were male. All of the children had negative sweat chloride tests. Eleven women could breast feed successfully. In twelve cases the mother's state of health deteriorated after pregnancy, and did not return to that before gravidity.
