Abstract
Summary: A 24-year-old African mother, who had received 6-mercaptopurine for acute leukaemia from before conception and throughout her pregnancy is described. The child, born prematurely, was anaemic at birth, with many features of a micro-angiopathic haemolytic anaemia. It is suggested that the mother's disease or treatment was involved in the aetiology of this anaemia.Keywords
