Remote pregnancy outcome after leukocyte immunotherapy.
Twenty-eight recurrent miscarriage patients who had live births after leukocyte immunization were followed. Sixteen had subsequent pregnancies (without further treatment). One pregnancy was terminated, and five others were spontaneously aborted. The live birth rate was therefore 10 of 15 (67%). Any benefit from leukocyte immunotherapy does not appear to be long lasting.
