Can Etoposide Leakage Bring Birth Defects For Unborn Baby?
Hi I am a nurse and recently a pt of mine was getting chemo--Etopiside IV and it leaked. Not knowing that it was Etoposide I touched it and it got on my hands. I of course washed my hands. Two weeks later I found out I am pregnant. Is my baby at risk for birth defects?
