title: [Peripartal monitoring of an HTLV III-infected, heroin-dependent pregnant patient].
abstract: In the past the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) could be mainly observed in homosexual and drug addicted persons. But at present one has to deal with this problem in obstetrics as well. In this paper a report is given on the late pregnancy and delivery in a heroin addicted gravida with positive HTLV III antibodies. We describe the useful tests to characterize the immunologic status of the patient and give recommendations for the clinical management of pregnancy and delivery.
