Determinations of immunoglobulins IgG, IgA and IgM were performed with serum and uterine blood of women who suffered from threatened abortion. In 40 of the examined women the pregnancy could be maintained and finished with normal delivery, and in 40 other women spontaneous abortion happened. Mean values of IgG, IgA and IgM of serum and uterine blood were significantly higher in women with spontaneous abortion than in women with delivery. Prognosis of threatened abortion is more unfavourable, if concentrations of immunoglobulins in serum and especially in uterine blood increase.
