Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) can lead to substantial medical challenges for the mother, fetus, and neonate. Diagnosis is often difficult without low platelet counts or frank bleeding. But a mother’s risk for FNAIT can be assessed, and existing and newly emerging therapies can act as preventive measures and improve fetus/neonate outcomes. Join Drs. Karin Blakemore and Emilie Vander Haar as they address many of the issues surrounding the management of FNAIT and offer clear and actionable suggestions for you to bring into your clinical practice.
