Abstract

Background. Parental histocompatibility prevents the recognition of paternal embryonic antigens from early pregnancy, which favors the development of different obstetric complications. Impaired trophoblast invasion processes in the first trimester of pregnancy give rise to late gestational complications: fetal growth retardation, preeclampsia, preterm delivery, and antenatal fetal death. Description. The paper describes a clinical case of the course and outcomes of 5 pregnancies in a patient with varying degrees of fetal histocompatibility. The poorest result was obtained after pregnancy where the fetus major histocompatibility complex antigens were similar to maternal in spite of performed therapy. Conclusion. Lymphocyte immune therapy in the patient with concurrent factors for miscarriage could achieve pregnancy prolongation up to 34 weeks and, as consequence, the birth of a viable child.
