Patient's question:
I was 26 weeks pregnant when I discovered that my thrombocytopenia was caused by an autoimmune disease. I am currently positive for SSA and weakly positive for SSB with a titer of 1:320. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Thrombocytopenia can be caused by connective tissue diseases such as Sj?gren's syndrome or systemic lupus erythematosus. Additionally, it is recommended to check for antiphospholipid antibodies. A positive SSA and weakly positive SSB result is strongly associated with Sj?gren's syndrome. It is advised to maintain a regular diet and nutrition, pay attention to rest, and if symptoms reappear, undergo a cesarean section promptly. Regular gynecological examinations should be scheduled. Do not worry too much; it depends on fate. Some children can be born healthy without being affected.
