title: [Treatment of neonatal thrombocytopenia].
abstract: Treatment of neonatal thrombocytopenia is dependent on its etiology and severity. The best indication for treatment with immunoglobulins is autoimmune thrombocytopenia. Platelet and blood transfusions are justified mainly in the presence of severe infection. The only indication for platelet transfusion is severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count below 30 G/L).
