  • Title: [Therapy with high-dose intravenous gamma globulin in the newborn infant with thrombocytopenia from passive immunization].
    Author: Ronconi GF, Castaman G, Fantuz E, Rodeghiero F.
    Journal: Pediatr Med Chir; 1985; 7(4):567-8. PubMed ID: 2426684.
    Abstract:
    High doses of gammaglobulin intravenously have been found useful in controlling thrombocytopenia of a neonate born to a mother who developed acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura during pregnancy. Administration of 0.4 gm/kg/day of intact gammaglobulin intravenously for five days was followed by dramatic rise of platelet count without any side-effect. After 1 month the platelet count was still normal. Passively-acquired immune thrombocytopenia of the newborn consequently is another indication for intravenous gammaglobulin therapy.
