ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED: Drug administration during the last trimester of pregnancy may have adverse effects for the newborn. CASE REPORT: A hemolytic anemia occurred during the first hours of life in a full-term neonate whose mother had taken nitrofurantoin during the last month of pregnancy. CONCLUSION: The immature enzymatic systems of the neonate are exposed to this adverse effect and justify the recommendation not to prescribe nitrofurantoin at the end of pregnancy.
