• Advanced imaging techniques help determine cause of brain bleeds

  A recent study showed that specific imaging patterns could help physicians determine the cause of neonatal brain bleeds.

• Case report: Infant diagnosed with rare fetal hemorrhage

  Subamniotic hemorrhage, a possible FNAIT complication, poses significant diagnostic challenges, particularly when it presents before birth.

• Utilizing telemedicine may improve outcomes after NICU discharge

  Families of patients with NICU stays due to severe conditions reported telemedicine appointments improved adaptation after discharge.

• Editing immunoglobulin G antibodies could help predict FNAIT severity

  The addition of a sugar molecule (fucosylation) to IgG antibodies could help in determining the severity of alloimmune diseases like FNAIT.

• Study shows high number of FNAIT cases in Ethiopia

  In the study, FNAIT was often associated with other conditions such as preeclampsia, neonatal sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis.

• Researchers describe signs of rare intracranial hemorrhage subtype

  In a recent study, researchers identified the clinical signs that may point to a rare subtype of intracranial hemorrhage.

• Rallybio discontinues development of lead drug for FNAIT

  Rallybio announced its clinical trial investigating the drug RLYB212, intended for the prevention of FNAIT, was discontinued.

• Rare antibodies identified in FNAIT-affected pregnancy

  Researchers studied a rare case of prolonged fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) caused by three different antibody types.

• Platelet transfusions to prevent bleeding could lead to serious complications

  Platelet transfusions are often required to treat FNAIT, however recent evidence suggests that they could produce serious complications.

• Newborn with FNAIT-like symptoms diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis

  A case of a newborn with thrombocytopenia illustrated the value of considering all possible FNAIT differential diagnoses, including HLH.
