Abstract

The registry of donors typed for HPA-1 and HPA-3 antigens is presented. Three cases of fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (F/NAIT) transfused with typed platelets either from mother or from registered donors are discussed. All children were transfused just after delivery, one in addition in utero: they survived not having any haemorrhagic complications in central nervous system inspite of such complications in previous born siblings. In the paper the general rules of platelet transfusions in F/NAIT are discussed.
