Abstract

ITP is the most common autoimmune disease during pregnancy. Whereas the maternal risk due to the extreme thrombocytopenia can be calculated, the risk to the foetus is difficult to predict. As there is no correlation between maternal and foetal platelet count, no generalisations can be made as to the preferable method of delivery. The methods of treatment with special reference to pregnancy and the various procedures necessary during delivery are discussed.
