title: [Thrombocyte morphology and function during high-dose immunoglobulin therapy in acute and chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. 1].
abstract: We examined the effectiveness of a high-dose Immunglobulin therapy in 8 patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and measured the number, the morphology and the function of Thrombocytes as well as thrombocyte dependent clotting parameters. 0.5 g/kg/B.W. 7s-Immunglobulin (7s-IgG) per treatment led to normal thrombocyte numbers in 7 out of 8 patients. The maximal thrombocyte-rise occurred on the 4th-10th day of treatment. Simultaneously bleeding time, thrombocyte-volume distribution frequency and Ristozetin-ADP and Collagen induced thrombocyte-aggregation normalized-indication as well as cause of the 7s-IgG-therapy are discussed.
