Púrpura trombocitopênica auto-imune e gravidez: relato de um caso / Autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura and pregnancy: a case report

ABSTRACT

The authors studed one case of autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura in a 25 years old pregnant woman, with 38 weeks of pregnancy. The conduct was rest and sedatives. The preference was the vaginal delivery, because ther was no concordance in our Service that the cesarean section avoids hemorrhage in the newborns of pregnant women bearing ATP. In the 99 day of treatment, it was performed a cesarean section after diagnosis of acute fetal distress, the newborn presenting an Apgar score of 1 and 3, with good evolution and absence of petechiae or purpura. The patient had puerperal infection, but it was not found in the literature any association between this pathology and thrombocytopenic purpura
