Abstract
Neonatal thrombocytopenia is the most common blood disease in neonatal intensive care after anemia caused by blood sampling. thrombocytopenia, which comes three days after the birth is due to a sepsis or gastrointestinal infection. In most cases, this deficiency in the first three days of life is related to chronic hypoxia of the fetus during pregnancy. Neonatal bleeding depends not only on the number of platelets, but also on the viability of the blood vessel or hemorrhagic disorder.
This prospective monitoring study aims to determining the prevalence of neonatal thrombocytopenia and studying the possible causes. This is related to the age of the neonatal and the severity of thrombocytopenia. The study was carried out in neonatal intensive care at the Obstetrics, Gynecology and pediatric Hospital at Minia University from March 2017 to the end of June 2017. The study included 150 newborn children, 102 (68%) of whom were premature infants and 48(32%) of them were term neonates & (70%)of them were females and(30%) of them were males& mode of delivery was cesarean section in(82.7%)and vaginal delivery was (17.3%).
Thrombocytopenia in the first three days of life was related to the presence of diseases in maternal disease such as (Hyper tension, diabetes mellitus, pre mature rupture of membrane placental abnormalities ,and TORCH infection)
Thrombocytopenia was found in premature neonates. thrombocytopenia was mild in 62% , moderate in 34 % and sever in 4% of cases.
There were significant positive correlation between severity of thrombocytopenia and birth weight but there were no correlation between thrombocytopenia ,gestational age and sex.
