Abstract | PROBLEM: The causes of recurrent reproductive wastage are varied and complex. The present study was designed to focus on the role of immunologic factors in cases where other causes were not evident. METHOD OF STUDY: Over 20 years, more than 1500 couples were evaluated in our clinic because of recurrent spontaneous abortion. Women were tested for anti- phospholipid antibodies and plasma contact proteins of the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation after endocrine, organic, infectious and genetic etiologies of miscarriages were excluded.
