Successful tolerance induction to spiramycin in pregnancy

Scand J Infect Dis. 2002;34(7):550-1. doi: 10.1080/003655402320208875.

Abstract

We report the cases of 2 pregnant patients, suffering from toxoplasmosis, who developed an erythematous, maculopapular rash during spiramycin therapy that disappeared with discontinuation of the drug. The 2 patients underwent a tolerance induction protocol with spiramycin and were able to continue therapy with this drug until the end of their pregnancies, with no side-effects.
