Abstract

Fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FMAIT) occurs when maternal antibodies are formed to fetal platelet antigens, leading to thrombocytopenia and hemorrhagic complications. The diagnosis is frequently made only after a major hemorrhagic event has occurred during a pregnancy. Identifying patients at risk remains difficult, and the optimal treatment regimen remains to be determined.
