The causes of false thrombocytopenia may be: abnormal mixing of studied blood with anticoagulant, EDTA-dependent antibodies, satellite thrombocytes around leucocytes. Searching for false thrombocytopenia, thrombocyte count was examined in 477 children without signs of haemorrhagic diathesis. False thrombocytopenia was found in two patients.
Five cases of congenital thrombocytopenia caused by immunological thrombocytopenia in mothers are presented. In one newborn whose mother had normal platelet count after splenectomy performed for ITP transient congenital thrombocytopenia was observed after birth. One child died due to intracranial hemorrhage. Practical conclusions are presented with regard to the diagnosis and management of neonatal thrombocytopenia caused by maternal ITP, and prophylactic management is suggested to prevent the complications of neonatal thrombocytopenia in case of maternal ITP.
