PIVETTA, Mario Alberto et al. High dose of intravenous immunoglobulin for the treatment of senere Rh(D) alloinmunization. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2005, vol.21, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2996.

The prenatal use of high dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is indicated in cases of severe haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn when low gestational age makes intrauterine transfusions technically difficult. We describe our experience with a patient with history of three fetal deaths from Rh (D) hemolytic disease, the last one at very low gestational age, who achieved an alive newborn after early treatment with IVIG from 13 weeks gestation. The interdisciplinary work guaranteed the strict control, follow-up and successful treatment

Palabras clave : Rhesus (Rh) isoimmunisation; haemolytic disease of the newborn; intravenous immunoglobulin.
