Pregnancy and rheumatoid arthritis: an overview
Am J Reprod Immunol.
1992 Oct-Dec.
Abstract
The literature concerning the relationship of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to pregnancy is reviewed. The amelioration of RA during pregnancy is a complex process. No specific factor that causes amelioration and is amenable to therapeutic intervention has been identified. Either RA is associated with lower fertility/fecundity, or pregnancy induces a protective effect against the development of the disease. The biological mechanism of these findings is not established.
