ABSTRACT
There are few studies on the use of illicit drugs during pregnancy with a variable prevalence depending on the year, maternal age, region and diagnostic methods. Mothers' and newborn infants' urine samples were tested for illegal drugs in cases where the mother reported consumption, lack of antenatal care and neonatal signs and symptoms, from 2009 to 2011. A rapid strip test for simultaneous qualitative detection of multiple drugs and metabolites in urine was used. In 19 out of 39 (49%) cases in which urine samples were collected, an illicit drug was detected in the mother and/or the newborn infant. Cocaine was the most frequently detected drug. There was a high coexistence of social and familiar risk factors, smoking (84%) and alcohol consumption (47%).
