    Abstract:
    The authors reported the effect of high dose intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in 18 patients with chronic autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura. A good but transitory response was observed in 60% of the cases. The intensity of the response was variable, the duration was between 11 and 26 days. The mechanism of the effect of this therapy is poorly understood. Since this therapy is expensive and the response inconsistent and transitory, the indications are limited.
