Association between influenza during pregnancy and childhood leukaemia

T Hakulinen et al. Br Med J. .

Abstract

This report based on the data available from the Finnish Cancer Registry and from virus isolations gives further support to the association (P=0.04) between maternal influenza of the 1957 "Asian" type and subsequent later leukaemia in the infants. No such association was found from other influenza epidemics.
