Abstract
The relationship between female infertility, endometriosis and antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in the blood of women without clinical symptoms of autoimmune disease is described. ANA in the titre of 1:40 and more, was detected in 63% women with endometriosis, 70.4% women with idiopathic infertility, 3.3% women with hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction and 5.6% healthy nonpregnant women. The occurrance of ANA in endometriosis and idiopathic infertility was more frequently connected with negative postkoital test and the number of spontaneous abortions. We suggest, that (auto)immunological mechanisms play an important role in endometriosis and unexplained infertility.
