  • Title: Pregnancy in patients with autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura.
    Author: Noriega-Guerra L, Aviles-Miranda A, de la Cadena OA, Espinosa LM, Chávez F, Pizzuto J.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1979 Feb 15; 133(4):439-48. PubMed ID: 571205.
    Abstract:
    The obstetric and hematologic problems in 21 pregnancies of 18 patients with ATP are analyzed: one maternal and one fetal death occurred. Urinary estriol and oxytocinase were measured. Eighteen infants were born by vaginal delivery and three by cesarean section. None of the 20 liveborn infants died, but they had NIP due to the passage of maternal antibodies to the fetus. These results are compared to those reported in previous publications. The obstetric management of these patients should be individualized and carefully planned; it should not be based on the platelet count.
