Abstract

A 4-year-old white boy with immune-mediated red cell aplasia and severe anemia was given high intravenous doses of gamma-globulin. The therapy was well tolerated and followed by complete resolution of the inhibition of erythropoiesis with no recurrence of disease. Eight months after discontinuation of treatment, the patient has a normal complete blood cell count.
