XVI: Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period
P50-P61: Haemorrhagic and haematological disorders of fetus and newborn
Haemorrhagic and haematological disorders of the fetus and newborn refer to a group of conditions affecting the blood and clotting system in babies before or shortly after birth. These conditions can occur due to a variety of reasons such as genetic causes, infections passed from mother to baby, or complications during pregnancy or delivery. Symptoms might include unusual bleeding or bruising, pallor, or jaundice. Progression of these disorders depends on the specific condition and its severity. It may lead to serious complications, including damage to organs and tissues, if not diagnosed and treated promptly. The blood system, including the cells that make up the blood and the vessels that carry it, is affected in these conditions. While some disorders may resolve on their own, others may require medication or procedures to manage the symptoms and prevent further complications.
