| Description | Journal: Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica In this paper we present a patient with an initially questionable history of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAT) due to materno-fetal HPA-la $(PL^{Al}$) incompatibility. No circulating antibodies were detectable in untreated maternal serum, but an adsorption/elution technique enabled the demonstration of the platelet-specific anti-HPA-la $(anti-PL^{Al}$) in maternal serum. Cordocentesis at 35 weeks of gestation revealed a fetal platelet count of 18 × $10^{9}$/1. Intrauterine platelet transfusion with HPA-Ia $(PL^{Al}$)-negative donor platelets was performed prior to cesarean section. |
