Clinical data during pregnancy and delivery. (a) Transition of hemoglobin concentration and platelet count from an early stage of pregnancy to delivery. Solid line, hemoglobin; dotted line, platelets. (b) Transition of fetal estimated weight (EFW). Solid line, EFW; dotted line, 50th percentile.

We had started iron preparation from onset of anemia empirically, and her hemoglobin level recovered to 10.1 g/dl by 31 weeks of gestation (Figure 1(a)). Fetal estimated weight and middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA-PSV) were assessed every 2 weeks via ultrasound examination to monitor effects of the anemia (Figures 1(b) and 1(c)), and these factors remained in the normal range.
Transition of hemoglobin concentration and platelet count after development of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and subsequent treatment with corticosteroids. Solid line, platelets; dotted line, hemoglobin. The treatment procedure is also shown.

Progress was satisfactory, and the prednisolone dosage was gradually decreased to 0 mg (Figure 2).
