High dose intravenous gammaglobulin and platelet transfusions in leukaemic HLA-immunized patients. 1984

P Bierling, and C Cordonnier, and M Rodet, and J P Vernant, and A Pesce, and H Rochant, and N Duedari

3 aplastic patients with acute leukaemia, strongly HLA-immunized and refractory to platelet transfusions, received polyvalent gammaglobulin i.v. infusions (0.4 g/kg/d for 5 or 6 d) in association with daily random platelet transfusions. Platelet recovery was obtained in 2 patients. The 3rd patient did not show any significant rise in platelet count. The ability of gammaglobulin to prolong the life-span of incompatible transfused platelets could facilitate the management of HLA-immunized patients.
