Recurrent Miscarriages are seen in 2%–5% of women and 50% of these are labelled as unexplained as no underlying cause is found in them. Various studies have explained possible alloimmune basis in these couples. Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy (LIT) was the earliest immunomodulatory method suggested in these cases. The efficacy of LIT was questioned by REMIS study in 1999 and subsequent Cochrane reviews. However, recent meta‐analyses have shown that LIT is not only effective in the treatment of repeated miscarriages but it is also safe. Review of the odds ratio for live birth of various meta‐analyses of studies in recurrent miscarriages has also shown that newer meta‐analyses have shown higher odds ratios. The purpose of this paper is to put forward the current perspective of LIT in reproductive failure and bring forth the recent evidence. In addition, we share our experience with the use of LIT in women with recurrent pregnancy losses. However, large multicentric RCTs are required to further prove efficacy of LIT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
