[Anti-Tja (PP1Pk) isoimmunization. A case, a review of the literature].
OBJECTIVE
A review of the literature concerning the very rare anti-PP1Pk isoimmunisation with a personal case.


METHODS
Anti-PP1k antibody gives rise to the high risk of abortion in the first and the second trimester (in a different series the risk is 50-70%). A 19-year-old patient who had this antibody was helped by a plasmaphoresis repeatedly between the 6th and the 25th week of pregnancy. Cordocentesis was carried out to estimate fetal haemoglobin from the 25th week onwards. A set caesarean section was carried out at 36 weeks because of intrauterine growth retardation and the development of fetal anaemia.


CONCLUSIONS
The authors suggest research based on the known immunohaematological factors concerned with this isoimmunisation and on the main treatments available (plasmaphoresis, cordocentesis, and delivery at a set time).


CONCLUSIONS
Until now there have been very few cases and only four similar cases to ours have been reported in the literature. That is why it is so difficult to suggest a well defined strategy for treating these patients.
