VIII. Summary in German and Czech translation of abstract
Background: For patients with immunologically caused habitual
abortion so far there are only few therapies possible with limited
success and predominantly considerable side effects.
Objective: it was the aim of this investigation to rate the benefit
of systemic enzyme therapy for pregnant women with habitual abortion
in history by means of the course of pregnancy and delivery
including fetal outcome. Materials and methods: 144 pregnant women
with immunologically caused abortion received a gestagen preparation
and an enzyme combination preparation and were observed up to
delivery. The current data of pregnancy, birth and child were
collected and evaluated.
Results: 114 of 144 enzyme treated pregnant women had an
inconspicuous course of pregnancy up to the. birth of 114 healthy
children. Enzyme therapy caused no unpleasant side effects.
Conclusions: For immunologically caused habitual abortion
enzyme therapy is an effective form of immune therapy. The maternal
immune system is stabilized by the supplied enzymes whereby the full
development of a pregnancy is easier. The further clearing of the
molecular mechanisms of action is subject of current research
projects. Enzyme therapy can be recommended predominantly for women,
who had several abortions receiving the common forms of immune
therapy without success and therefore now are looking for a
therapeutical alternative. According to the previous experience
enzyme therapy is very successful for women with habitual abortion
with regard to completed pregnancies, and furthermore well tolerated
and also cost-effective.
