Abstract:
To study the immunologic characteristics of miscarriage, 34 women admitted with recurrent spontaneous abortion and 40 healthy women in the first trimester of pregnancy were investigated. The total results are as follows:-The total WBC count, especially granulocytes was raised significantly in RSA group.- No change was seen in the lympho T and lympho B cell numbers as well as lympho T CD4, lympho T CD8 cell numbers. However, the ratio CD4/CD8 was decreased in RSA group. Although it is not known if these changes are the cause or the effect, it would appear that immunologic abnormalities are associated with recurrent spontaneous abortion.
