| Popis: | A 38-year-old man developed idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) 8 months following allogeneic BMT while being treated for cGVHD with corticosteroids and tacrolimus (FK506). He received two courses of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IvIG) which resulted in transient improvement. A single dose of intravenous anti-D immunoglobulin induced a durable response. Anti-D immunoglobulin is better tolerated, less complicated to administer, and less expensive than a course of IvIG. |
