Abstract
Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) and neonatal neutropenia due to maternal autoantibodies against neutrophils are rare disorders. We describe a newborn with severe thrombocytopenia and intracerebral bleeding due to maternal anti-HPA-3a alloantibodies and mild neutropenia due to maternal autoantibodies against HNA-1b. This appears to be the first case of simultaneous occurrence of these two conditions. Conclusion: This case report and review of the literature demonstrate that anti-HPA-3a antibodies can be overlooked by standard assays. © 2012 The Author(s)/Acta Paediatrica © 2012 Foundation Acta Paediatrica.
