Abstract
Infusion of large amounts of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or anti-D can reverse the low platelet count in patients with ITP within hours of the initiation of treatment. In some cases, the effects of IVIG appear to far outlast several half-lives of the product. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain these rapid and long term effects and these will be discussed in this review.Entities:
