چکیده

abstract objective: to assess the incidence of thrombocytopenia and changes in various platelet parameters, in culture positive neonatal sepsis. methods: this was prospective study conducted over a period of one year from december 2009 to november 2010 in neonatal intensive care unit of dduh hospital, a tertiary care hospital in delhi, north india. all babies who were admitted during this period were evaluated prospectively for evidence of sepsis. results: sepsis was diagnosed in 560 neonates. among 560 neonates, 80/560 (14.28%) had culture positive sepsis. out of 80 blood culture positive neonates 73 were term neonates and 7 were near term. gram positive sepsis occurred in 21/80 (26.25%), gram negative sepsis in 54/80 (67.5%), and fungal sepsis in 5/80 (6.25%). incidence of thrombocytopenia in gram negative sepsis was (35/54) 64.81%, in gram positive sepsis (15/21) 71.41% and in fungal sepsis was (3/5) 60%. mean platelet count at the onset of sepsis in all the patients was 123287.5±49428.68. the mean duration of thrombocytopenia in gram positive sepsis was 4.66 ±2.6 days, in gram negative sepsis 4.39 ± 2.22 days and in fungal sepsis 5.2±1.3 days. mpv at the time of onset of sepsis (mpv) was high in gram positive sepsis than in gram negative sepsis (11.57±0.88 vs 11.29 ± 0.76). the mpv of thrombocytopenic neonates was significantly higher than that of non-thrombocytopenic neonates (p < 0.01).

Antigen-positive platelet transfusion in neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT).

Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is a fetomaternal incompatibility most commonly induced by maternal anti-HPA-1a, IgG alloantibodies against a polymorphic epitope of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex in approximately 97.5% of white patients. Current guidelines recommend transfusion of immunologically compatible platelets to prevent cerebral hemorrhage, the most severe complication in...
