ABSTRACT
The management of ITP in pregnancy remains controversial, particularly with reference to labour management. Thirteen pregnancies in 9 women with ITP are analysed with respect to maternal and neonatal outcome. One pregnancy culminated in spontaneous abortion. Ten infants were born by vaginal delivery and two by Caesarean section. There were no maternal or perinatal deaths. Maternal morbidity was not increased significantly due to ITP and none of the infants had purpuric manifestations even with low platelet counts. It is concluded that the obstetric management of these patients should be individualised and should not be based on platelet count alone.
