摘要
We report a rare case of acute severe thrombocytopenia and leukopenia, which first presented at 37 weeks' gestation. Based on clinical as well as on laboratory findings the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus was made. The patient was successfully managed with an emergency transfusion of 6 units of platelets and intravenous immunoglobulin infusion followed by methylprednisolone administration. A caesarean section was performed at 39 weeks. The neonate was not thrombocytopenic at birth, nor at the age of 1 month. Copyright (c) 2005 S. Karger AG, Basel.
