*

Serum sample of mothers that have been treated intravenously with immunoglobulin G (IVIG) during the pregnancy of a child at risk of alloimmune thrombocytopenia;

a

occurrence of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) in a previous pregnancy due to severe alloimmune thrombocytopenia; Abs = antibodies;

b

+ = yes or presence, –= no or absence, ± = weak presence;

c

platelet count at birth, <50 = –, >50 = +;

d

anti-HPA-1a- or HLA class I-antibodies;

e

titre of antibodies, for example 1 in 32;

f

pre-IVIG = serum sample taken before start of IVIG treatment, post-IVIG = serum sample taken after IVIG-treatment;

= deceased.
