High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin for post-transfusion purpura
Br J Haematol.
1985 Sep.
Abstract
Five patients with post-transfusion purpura (four due to Zw(a), one presumably due to HLA antibodies) were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IgG) at doses of 0.4 g per kg body weight. IgG therapy was immediately effective as indicated by cessation of bleeding and rise of platelet counts in four out of five cases.
