A Newborn with Petechiae and Bruising

Abstract

We report the case of a 29-year-old Causcasian woman (G5P0) who delivered a full-term female infant. Fetal growth and development were normal throughout gestation. The pregnancy was complicated by 3rd trimester preeclampsia, requiring induction of labor at 40 weeks gestation. Diagnosis of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT or NATP) or feto-maternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FMAIT or FMAITP) was made and is discussed in this article.
