摘要
Three pregnant women with a previous history of and laboratory findings consistent with severe rhesus immunization were treated with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) after a mean reduction of the antibody concentration of 64% by plasma exchange. Two of the cases were successful as judged by the clinical condition of the newborns, the slow increase in serum anti-D concentrations, and the decrease in amniotic fluid bilirubin levels after the combined treatment. The effect was less pronounced in the third case treated with a different preparation of IVIG. The maternal antibody production rate seems to be decreased by IVIG treatment and the placental transfer of IgG antibodies may also be affected. However, as anti-D antibodies were found at a high concentration in the blood of the newborns, we suggest that a major effect of the treatment is decreased fetal hemolysis, which may be caused by blockade of the fetal reticuloendothelial system. © 1990.
