ABSTRACT

Aim: To find out the frequency of Anticardiolipin Antibodies in women with recurrent fetal loss

Study design & duration: One year descriptive study

Methods: Seventy five females were included in the study with ages ranging from 20-40 years with minimum two miscarriages.

Diabetic females and females with history of bacterial or viral diseases were excluded from the study.
