Diagnostic Dilemma and Challenges in Management in a Case of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura in Pregnancy and Review of Literature
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Thrombocytopenia is encountered in as many as 10% pregnancies, and the causes of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy are manifold. Failure to identify the correct cause can lead to unnecessary platelet transfusions in certain conditions while it (thrombocytopenia) could be corrected by appropriate drug therapy. Furthermore, consideration has to be given to the effect of drug therapy on the fetus. Here, we present a case where a pregnant patient of immune thrombocytopenic purpura showed no improvement in platelet count despite having received multiple platelet transfusions and intravenous methylprednisolone but in the end, responded to intravenous immunoglobulin.
