CABRERA PAYNE, Yusselys  and  CASTILLO GONZALEZ, Dunia. Thrombocytopenia in pregnancy: gestational, immune and congenital. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.3, pp.196-207. ISSN 0864-0289.

Thrombocytopenia affects up to 10% of all pregnant women and is a common diagnosis and a problem in the management of patients as it may be related to preexisting conditions in women of childbearing age, such as primary immune thrombocytopenia and congenital thrombocytopenia or intrinsic disorders of pregnancy as gestational thrombocytopenia. It is recommended that all pregnant women with a platelet count below 100 x 10⁹ / L should undergo an evaluation by the hematologist and the obstetrician. Careful analysis of the time of onset of thrombocytopenia associated to clinical manifestations and specific laboratory tests are essential to provide appropriate diagnosis and maternal - fetal medical care at the right time, when preparing for the homeostatic challenge.

Keywords : thrombocytopenia; immune thrombocytopenia; congenital thrombocytopenia; pregnancy.
