Abstract
A low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) is a common finding especially in neonates who are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Due to the varied causes that can lead to neonatal thrombocytopenia, assessment and management can be challenging. Having an understanding of the causes of neonatal thrombocytopenia and their natural progression would help guide subsequent management. Therefore, we will be exploring the different circumstances where thrombocytopenia occurs and how to interpret and manage the neonate with thrombocytopenia in this interpretations article.
