[Adolescent pregnancy (author's transl)].
The number of pregnancies in adolescents is increasing in most countries and represents a public health problem. Teenage pregnancies are in the high-risk group. However, early recognition and correct management make them as safe as those of older women except for two complications which seem to be peculiar to them: toxemia of pregnancy and premature delivery. In addition, a higher frequency of congenital defects of unknown etiology was observed in our study.
