title: Thrombocytopenia in the neonate.
abstract: Pediatricians caring for newborns will eventually be confronted with the problem of thrombocytopenia in the neonatal period. Familiarity with the differential diagnosis of neonatal thrombocytopenia and understanding the pathogenesis of the more common entities allows physicians to design a selective diagnostic and therapeutic plan to benefit these thrombocytopenic infants.
