Two newborn infants with severe alloimmunothrombocytopenia due to maternal immunization against fetal PlA1-positive platelets were treated by a combination of i.v.-immunoglobulin (400 mg/kg b.w.) and a transfusion of maternal PlA1-negative platelets. In one infant this regimen was successful; the other one had to be retreated by i.v. immunoglobulin application (400 mg/kg b.w.) over a period of five days.
