Treatment of isoimmune thrombocytopenia of the newborn with transfusion of maternal platelets

N E Vain et al. Pediatrics. 1979 Jan.

Abstract

Isoimmune neonatal thrombocytopenia is a rare condition with potentially serious complications and mortality of 10%. There are several ways of diagnosing and treating this potential neonatal emergency, but the most simple and effective method we have found is that of transfusing maternal platelets. Two cases are reported in which this type of management was successful.
