Abstract

No cause can be found in 50% of patients with recurrent miscarriage. Recent research has shown that high levels of natural killer (NK) cells within the endometrium may be associated with idiopathic recurrent miscarriage. This case report describes a patient in whom an excessive number of uterine NK cells were found. She received preconceptual prednisolone and delivered a live baby. This is a novel observation of untested significance.
