    Abstract:
    Maternal immune thrombocytopenia is a frequent finding in pregnancy and is most commonly asymptomatic and clinically benign. 8 pregnant women with thrombocytopenia between January 1995 and December 2000, in Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Katowice-Ligota, were evaluated. 7 patients had idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura and one (31 years old) had cirrhosis, splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia and elevated liver enzymes. 6 cases was steroid-treated with initial platelet count 4,000 per cubic millimeter to 115,000 per cubic millimeter after treatment. Alloimmune thrombocytopenia is a serious fetal disorder, resulting from platelet-antigen incompatibility between the mother and fetus. Among all newborns only one had thrombocytopenia, platelet count 45,000 per cubic millimeter, without neonatal intracranial hemorrhage. 6 women had cesarean section and 2 patients delivered naturally.
