  • Title: Resolution of severe thrombocytopenia in a pregnant patient with rhesus-negative blood with autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura after intravenous rhesus immune globulin.
    Author: Moise KJ, Cano LE, Sala DJ.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1990 May; 162(5):1237-8. PubMed ID: 2160193.
    Abstract:
    Treatment with 120 micrograms of intravenous rhesus immune globulin at 29 1/2 weeks' gestation resulted in an elevation of the platelet count from 38,000/mm3 to 73,000/mm3 in a patient with rhesus-negative blood with autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura. Red blood cell immune blockade of the reticuloendothelial system is probably not the primary mechanism by which rhesus immune globulin elevates the platelet count.
