RESUMEN
Leflunomide is a commonly used disease modifying antirheumatic agent. However, its use is contraindicated in pregnancy. The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) guidelines recommend discontinuing Leflunomide at least 24 months before conception. If a woman is found to be pregnant while on Leflunomide, ACR suggests close monitoring and cholestyramine washout. We describe a case of a patient with a history of juvenile idiopathic arthritis who was on Leflunomide throughout the first and second trimester of her pregnancy. A cholestyramine washout regimen was started but not completed. The patient was induced at 37 weeks of gestation due to non-reassuring fetal heart rate. She ultimately delivered a healthy baby via emergency cesarian section.
