Why are Immunosuppressive Therapies Used in Neonates?
In neonates, immunosuppressive therapies are often used to treat conditions like neonatal lupus, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and neonatal autoimmune thrombocytopenia. These conditions can lead to significant morbidity and sometimes mortality if left untreated. The primary goal of using immunosuppressive therapies in neonates is to control the immune response and prevent damage to the infant's tissues and organs.
