Summary
Thrombocytopenia occurs in less than 1% of all newborns. However, thrombocytopenia is a common finding in the intensive-care nursery where it is present in 25–35% of admitted infants [1, 2]. See Chapters 12 and 13 for a discussion of the approach to thrombocytopenia as well as acquired causes of thrombocytopenia in newborns. This chapter will focus primarily on the diagnosis and initial management of inherited thrombocytopenia disorders that present in infancy.
