[Repeated abortions, sterility and systemic dysimmunopathy (author's transl)].
A patient with lupus disease had a previous medical history of five recurrent temporary bouts of thrombopenia which were followed by spontaneous abortions. This raises the two-fold problem of the relationship between circulating immune complexes disease and thrombopenia, and dysimmunopathy and pregnancy disorders. The hypothesis is raised of a trophoblastic necrotizing angeitis due to abnormal immunity processes involved in some cases of sterility, spontaneous abortions, and even nephropathies during pregnancy.
