9 pregnancies (in 6 women) complicated by autoimmune thrombocytopenia were studied. Corticosteroids and/or azathioprine and/or intravenous immunoglobulins (IgG i.v.) were administered to 5 women during pregnancy. 1 complete remission (CR) was achieved after 3 mo. of treatment by corticosteroids and azathioprine. In peripartum period the treatment was administered in 7 cases (corticosteroids, IgG i.v., platelet transfusion). There were no haemorrhagic complications during peripartum period (8 vaginal delivery, 1 cesarean section). In 3 of 5 examined cases IgG antiplatelet antibody was detected. Study group was to small to define the correlation between level of antiplatelet antibodies and neonatal thrombocytopenia. 10 infants were born. 4 infants (including siblings) were found to have normal platelet counts immediately after delivery. They mothers were treated by IgG i.v. in 2 cases and 1 women in CR at the time of delivery. 4 infants were thrombocytopenic but required no treatment. Duration time of thrombocytopenia was 1 to 4 weeks. In these cases mothers were treated only by corticosteroids or had no therapy.
