Abstract
A male neonate with hyperbilirubinaemia and progressing anaemia due to rhesus (c + E) incompatibility received high dose intravenous gammaglobulin (ivIgG) therapy at 13 days of age. Clinical response to therapy was confirmed by a rapid decrease in serum bilirubin level, and with the prevention of a further decline of the haemoglobin level. No side-effects were noted. High dose ivIgG therapy could be an alternative to (exchange) blood transfusion in case of some haemolytic diseases of newborn.Entities:
