We report a case of a 38-year-old woman with recurrent spontaneous abortion who gave birth to a thrombocytopenic neonate after immunotherapy with husband’ s leucocytes. A 38-year-old healthy female consulted the Department of Immunology and Histocompatibility Center in Thessaloniki. Medical history taken from the woman revealed two abortions. She was pregnant in 1999 and aborted at approximately 12-weeks gestational age. The second pregnancy was spontaneously aborted at approximately 8-weeks gestational age. Personal and family history of the woman were free of autoimmune or other diseases.
