title: [Anti-phospholipid antibodies and recurrent miscarriage].
abstract: Antiphospholipid antibodies are associated with arterial and venous thromboembolism, thrombocytopenia and fetal loss. According to several studies the obstetrical problems associated with antiphospholipid antibodies can be successfully treated with immunosuppressive or anticoagulant drugs. The detection of these antibodies is difficult owing to the lack of standardization and of specificity of the laboratory tests.
