The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2008•Taylor & FrancisAlloimmune thrombocytopenia (AIT) is an important cause of intrauterine hemorrhagic
lesions that result from platelet-antigen incompatibility between mother and foetus. Foetal
platelets are destroyed by cross-reactive maternal antibodies that cross the placenta. The
most serious complication of AIT is foetal intracranial bleeding that may eventually result in
intrauterine death or severe neurological impairments.
