TREATMENT OF PLACENTAL CHRONIC HISTIOCYTIC INTERVILLOSITIS USING AN INHIBITOR OF INTERLEUKIN-1

摘要

The present invention concerns the use of an inhibitor of interleukin- (IL-1), in particular of IL-1αand/or IL-1β, for the prevention or treatment of chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI) or a symptom associated thereof, eventually in combination with the use of at least one molecule conventionally prescribed to treat CHI and/or an interleukin-18 (IL-18) inhibitor. Said inhibitor of interleukin-1 (IL-1), in particular of IL-1α and/or IL-1β, may also be used for diagnosing in vitro CHI in a subject suspected of suffering from CHI or for monitoring in vitro the effectiveness of a treatment for CHI in a subject in need thereof.
