Abstract: Thrombocytopenia in pregnancy is defined as platelet counts of <150,000/cu.mm.Most commonly, the fall in platelet counts is due to gestational thrombocytopenia which is usually a self-resolving condition.However, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) appears to be a relatively rare cause of thrombocytopenia which may complicate certain pregnancies and predispose affected patients to severe hemorrhagic complications.Therefore, it is important that ITP may be identified promptly during pregnancy as it has the potential to affect the mother and the fetus adversely.Here, we have followed the pregnancy outcomes of five women who were diagnosed cases of ITP.
