Abstract:
Serological and clinical data were collected in 348 cases of suspected neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAT). Of the 144 mothers who were Zwa-negative, 107 had Zwa antibodies.sbd.alone (94); with HLA antibodies (12); or with Bra antibodies (1). Antibodies were detected in 12 of the 204 Zwa-positive mothers as follows: anti-Bra (9), anti-Zwb (1), anti-Baka with HLA antibody (1), and blood group B isoagglutinins (1). The frequency of NAT due to Bra incompatibility (19%) was second to Zwa (78%). Zwa-NAT was clinically the most severe (14% had intracranial haemorrhages) and responded well to either maternal platelet transfusions or intravenous IgG. In Bra-NAT intracranial haemorrhages were not observed and most children recovered without specific therapy.
