Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
However there are numerous diseases develops enlargement of spleen.
In this case as miscarriage associated along depletion of platelets.
May be due to ,
hereditary spherocytosis or thalassemia syndromes, that require removal of large number of defective red blood cells.
immune hyperplasia in response to systemic infection ( infectious mononucleosis , subacute bacterial endocarditis.
Immunological disease as IMMUNE THROMBOCYTOPENIA ( DEPLETION OF PLATELETS), Systemic lupus erythromatosis.
In this way complete blood picture with complete history of illness is very important .
Consult a hemaetologist and get his opinion along Gynaecologist.
Good luck.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
1. History of frequent miscarriage
2. Decreased platelet count.
3. Splenomegaly.
these features suggest she may have syndrome called antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
Please check her anticardiolipin, Lupus anticoagulant and Beta-2 glycoprotein I (B2GPI) antibodies titre.
She may need low dose heparin or aspirin in future during her pregnancy.
She is at risk of deep vein thrombosis.
Please consult rheumatologist.
Take care.
Hope this helps.
