Abstract
HIV positive women of reproductive age are increasingly treated with a combination of antiretroviral agents, with effects on the developing human fetus that are largely unknown. We report two cases of severe spinal malformations in the fetuses of women treated with combination antiretroviral therapy and co-trimoxazole.
