ABSTRACT
Any acute severe infection can be associated with occasional pregnancy loss. The role of infection in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been unclear.1
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in microorganisms as possible causes of pathology in previously unexplained medical conditions.2 In this chapter, the evidence for and against infection as a cause of RPL is presented. Specific infections are discussed, and the recent developments in molecular biology are discussed as they relate to future investigation.
