A novel mutation, revealed by advanced genetic analysis, caused fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in a newborn.
The addition of a sugar molecule (fucosylation) to IgG antibodies could help in determining the severity of alloimmune diseases like FNAIT.
Artificial intelligence is enhancing newborn healthcare by providing an avenue for earlier diagnosis.
A patient was diagnosed with IVIG-induced hemolytic anemia after extensive investigations were performed.
In a recent study of mothers of FNAIT-affected children, anxiety was the most common psychological symptom reported.
Nipocalimab’s success in gMG may bode well for its efficacy in treating FNAIT, a serious fetal condition with no approved therapies.
Nearly one in three babies born to mothers with Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia developed FNAIT in a recent study.
In the study, FNAIT was often associated with other conditions such as preeclampsia, neonatal sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis.
Patients diagnosed with intracranial hemorrhage pre- and postnatally may have an elevated risk of neurological and behavioral impairment.
