Thrombocytopenia (< 100,000/mm 3 ): possible association with bacterial sepsis or viral infection, but
usual onset does not occur until 1 to 3 days after infection onset (late indicator). May also occur with
maternal HELLP syndrome ( h emolysis, e levated l iver function test results, and l ow p latelet count),
pregnancy-induced hypertension, and intrauterine growth restriction, as well as some syndromes such
as trisomies 13, 18, and 21, Turner's syndrome, and hemolytic disease.
