Abstract

Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is a neonatal disorder characterized by maternal alloimmunization against paternal platelet antigens in the fetus. Intracranial hemorrhage leading to death or permanent neurological disability may occur in this clinical setting. In this paper, a case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is presented.
