[Opportunities for the application of the prostaglandins in gynecology. Interruption of pregnancy in acute leukosis. Description of a case].

Prostaglandin is being used increasingly as an abortifacient, especially in infans mortuus, fetus mortuus, interruption of pregnancy, missed abortion and hydatidiform mole. The most commonly used form of application is extraamniotic instillation. Interruption of pregnancy during acute leukosis of pregnancy is an extension of the list of indications. One such case is reported. The reliable and rapid onset of action and the small loss of blood suggest that prostaglandins may be the drug of choice.
