Abstract:
Recent studies emphasise an important role of immunological mechanisms in pregnancy maintenance. Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is responsible for 5-15% of recurrent pregnancy loss. Authors describe a successful pregnancy outcome after aspirin and heparin therapy in 26 years old woman with three previous pregnancy losses, with positive anticardiolipin antibodies and increased number of NK cells.
