Results: The mean age of control group was 25.29 while it was 26.69 in cases group. The prevalence of anti-tpo antibody positivity in the study group was 18.8%.out of 90 pregnant female ;17 were positive for anti-tpo antibody. The prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity in pregnant women with recurrent abortion was (37.8%) while it was (0%) in the healthy group (P=0.0).
