Résumé :
Injecting drug use has adverse effects on pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. Methadone treatment improves birth rate but carries a risk of neonatal abstinence syndrome; withdrawal of methadone during pregnancy is not recommended. The case described in the Scenario box highlights some of the problems of managing a pregnant injecting drug user. Such patients often present late and have chaotic lifestyles, including poor care for themselves and compromised capacity to care for infants and children. (Editor's abstract)
