What are the causes of low platelet count in newborns?

Low platelet count does not only affect young people, but also infants. However, the treatment methods for children are different from those for adults. During treatment, we must first find out the cause of neonatal platelet deficiency. Let us now understand the cause of this disease.

Platelets are very low. To solve this problem, we first need to know what causes thrombocytopenia, because different causes have different treatments. The following three situations are common in clinical practice:

① Decreased platelet production, which is common in blood diseases such as aplastic anemia and acute leukemia, as well as after the use of certain chemotherapy drugs, is often accompanied by anemia and leukopenia;

② Excessive platelet destruction, most of which are caused by unknown reasons, and some are secondary to autoimmune diseases and the use of certain drugs;

③ Abnormal platelet distribution, commonly seen in splenomegaly, etc.
