title: Immunologic recurrent abortion: comparison between immunotherapies.
abstract: The Authors record the results in a group of patients with immunologic recurrent abortion (IRA) treated with two different immunoprophylaxis regimen. The first one is an active prophylaxis therapy with preparation and administration from donor mononucleates. According to their previous original experience, the Authors started giving high doses of IV-Ig (HD IV-Ig) in a second group of pregnant patients with the same diagnosis of immunologic recurrent abortion (IRA). The results of this not randomized study show better reproductive outcome in the group treated with use of HD IV-Ig.
