P61: Other perinatal haematological disorders

The conditions classified under "Other perinatal haematological disorders" refer to a group of blood disorders that occur at the time of birth or shortly afterwards. These conditions can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic abnormalities, infections transmitted from the mother to the infant, or complications during childbirth such as severe blood loss. Symptoms and impacts of these disorders vary but generally are linked to the blood's ability to carry oxygen, fight infections, and clot properly. These disorders may cause symptoms such as fatigue, susceptibility to infection, or bleeding issues. The progression of these conditions depends on their specific nature, with some requiring immediate treatment to prevent serious health consequences while others may resolve on their own over time. This group of disorders primarily affects the circulatory system, particularly the components of the blood.
