Abstract

To evaluate the long-term follow-up of surviving offspring after antenatal treatment for fetal or neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT). Fifty children at risk of FNAIT were antenatally treated with maternal intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) (n=11), IVIG with intrauterine platelet transfusions (IUPT) (n=26) or IUPT alone (n=9). In four cases (n=4), only fetal blood sampling (FBS) was performed. One child died in the neonatal period and one was lost to follow up. The remaining 48 children, aged 1.3-11.6 years (median 5.1 years), were given both general and neurological examinations and assessed on their development and susceptibility for infections or atopic constitution. In addition, immunoglobulin levels were measured in 17 infants, aged 5 years and older. Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) was not observed. The general health and neurodevelopmental outcome in the children was comparable to a normal Dutch population. Children not exposed to maternal IVIG treatment had significantly more infections and hearing problems than children exposed to IVIG treatment or the normal population. Immunoglobulin G, A and M levels were within the normal range, independent of treatment and severity of FNAIT. A high IgE level was more freque...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
