Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia in Scotland: a national HPA-1 epidemiological study involving 26,506 pregnant women. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bessos, H., Fagge, T., Wilson, D., Harkness, M., Rentoul, F., Ahya, R., …Turner, M. (2002). Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia in Scotland: a national HPA-1 epidemiological study involving 26,506 pregnant women

Objective: Severe neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia
(NAITP) in the Caucasian population is mainly due to a mismatch in the HPA-I epitope between mother and fetus. In August 1999 we began a 2 year study of HPA-I NAITP in pregnant women in Scotland...
