Three patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) in chronic phase received Interferon‐α during pregnancy, starting from the 1 st trimester. No maternal complications were reported. The 3 patients delivered normal looking babies apart from one baby who was found to have transient mild thrombocytopenia. Subsequently these children were followed for 30, 12, and 4 months and all had normal growth and development. Am. J. Hematol. 69:115–118, 2002. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
