[Experimental study of pathological and normal early pregnancy with the E rosette test]

The E rosette test was made at 35 women with disturbances in early pregnancy (gestational weeks 8 to 12). 61 women with normal pregnancy and 33 nonpregnant women were taken as control persons. There were no significant differences between procentual and absolute numbers of E rosettes of women with deranged pregnancy, of women with normal pregnancy and nonpregnant women. We did not learn to differentiate between Abortus imminens (with intact pregnancy) and real occurred fetal death by the E rosette test. Pregnant women had higher leucocyte values and procentual lymphocyte rates than nonpregnant women.
