<unk>  <unk> P,<unk> ,<unk> P or<unk>  is a disease that affects babies in which the platelet count is decreased because the mother's immune system attacks her fetus' or newborn's platelets. A low platelet count increases the risk of bleeding in the fetus and newborn. If the bleeding occurs in the brain, there may be long-term effects. Platelet antigens are inherited from both mother and father. is caused by antibodies specific for platelet antigens inherited from the father but which are absent in the mother. Fetomaternal transfusions (or fetomaternal hemorrhage) results in the recognition of these antigens by the mother's immune system as non-self, with the subsequent generation of allo-reactive antibodies which cross the placenta. , hence, is caused by transplacental passage of maternal platelet-specific alloantibody and rarely human leukocyte antigen () allo-antibodies (which are expressed by platelets) to fetuses whose platelets express the corresponding antigens. occurs in somewhere between 1/800 and 1/5000 live births. More recent studies of seem to indicate that it occurs in around 1/600 live births in the Caucasian population.
