Abstrakt: Foetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (AIT) is a disease in which there are a number of important controversies. These range from which neonates the diagnosis should be entertained in to what testing the laboratory should perform (especially if the first round of testing is not clearly diagnostic) to what treatment should be given. Increasingly there is consensus in broad areas but considerable variability in the details and in certain specific situations. Prior to discussing the controversies, it would be appropriate to first summarize the areas of consensus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
