Hemolysis following intravenous immune globulin therapy.
Two patients who had hemolysis after receiving large doses of intravenous immune serum globulin are reported. Both patients had positive direct antiglobulin tests due to alloantibodies contained in the immune serum globulin. Markedly increased red cell transfusion requirements and elevated serum bilirubin levels provided evidence of hemolysis.
