FNAIT may cause severe bleeding in the fetus, including intracranial hemorrhage and long-term disabilities, especially in subsequent pregnancies. Treatments for FNAIT include fetal blood sampling with intrauterine platelet transfusions, or maternal IV immunoglobulin transfusions with or without steroids. In order [Read More]
