Successful Prevention of Fetal Autoimmune-Mediated Heart Block by Combined Therapies With Hydroxychloroquine and Intravenous Immunoglobulin: A Case Report

A fetal autoimmune-mediated atrioventricular block is a passively acquired autoimmune disease in which maternal autoantibodies enter the fetal circulation via the placenta and subsequently cause inflammation and fibrosis of the atrioventricular node. Once fetal autoimmune-mediated atrioventricular b...
