Abstract

1 x THE literature on the clinical importance of the Rh factor there are many intimations that this factor in the blood is a relatively common cause of abortion. However, only Schwartz and Levine and Javert discussed this possibility in detail. Levine noted that t,he blood of only one in nine women who had experienced two or more spontaneous abortions was Rh negative. Javert studied twelve cases of habitual abortion (number of pregnancies not stated) and found the blood of nine (75 per cent) of the women concerned to be Rh positive. He concluded that “unless additional evidence shows the contrary, early habitual abortions should not be attributed to (Rh factor) iso-immunization.”
