The treatment of autoimmune thrombocytopaenic purpura with anti-D immunoglobulin: similar platelet responses in homozygous and heterozygous Rh(D) positive patients.

Abstract excerpt

Twenty-one patients with autoimmune thrombocytopaenic purpura (AITP) were treated with anti-D immunoglobulin. There was no significant difference with low and high dose anti-D treatment in the platelet count response between homozygous and heterozygous Rh(D) positive patients. The heterogeneous responses seen in Rh(D) positive AITP patients treated with anti-D immunoglobulin cannot therefore be explained by...
