Re: Han JY, Choi JS, Chun JM, Park HD, Lee SY, Kim CH et al. 2009. Pregnancy outcome of women transfused during pregnancy with blood products inadvertently obtained from donors treated with acitretin. Journal of Obstetric and Gynaecology 29:694-697.
I have read this very interesting paper by Han et al. (2009) and I wish to make some comments regarding the validity of the findings. The paper is very misleading on several counts and should be clarified to avoid readers getting the wrong impression leading to a level of complacency or misuse of these retinoids. The title of the paper speaks about women transfused during pregnancy, while the description of the cases under material and methods describes women who became pregnant after transfusion. The table has clarified what was done and despite the title of the paper only two of nine women were transfused during the present pregnancy and both of them were transfused in the third trimester.
