A patient with chronic ITP relapsed after conventional therapy but following an infusion with low dose anti D (Rho) immunoglobulin, she entered a remission which has now lasted 10 months. This is difficult to explain on the basis of long term macrophage Fc receptor blockade and suggests an alternative mechanism of action.

In vivo erythrocyte polyagglutination of microbial origin is usually a transient condition. In two children with bowel disorders, erythrocyte T-polyagglutination persisted for 12 months in one case and for seven months in the other. Both cultures required both transfusions to support surgery. Washed red cell concentrates were transfused instead of whole blood to prevent dangerous destruction of T-transformed erythrocytes by anti-T antibodies normally present in the plasma of blood donors.
