[Treatment of 2 newborn infants with autoimmune thrombocytopenia by high-dose intravenous gamma globulins].
We report 2 cases of neonatal auto-immune thrombocytopenia treated with high-dose intravenous gamma-globulins. Efficacy of treatment was immediate, inducing an increase in platelet levels which was transitory during the first 2 weeks but stabilized in the third week. Tolerance was excellent. Injections of 400 mg/kg/day repeated for 4 to 5 days should be preferred to a single dose of 1 to 2 g/kg.
