Immune globulin Reactions 1680, p167 - 2 Dec 2017 Dural venous cerebral sinus thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism and deep vein thrombosis: case report A 14-year-old boy developed dural venous cerebral sinus thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism and deep vein thrombosis during treatment with immune globulin [Liv gamma SN]. The boy was admitted to the emergency department (ED) with spontaneous extensive petechial spots over the body for a day. On admission, he was found to have low platelet counts. At the age of 6 years, he was diagnosed with acute immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and was successfully treated with IV immune globulin 1 g/kg/day injection for two days. After two weeks of the treatment, his platelet counts decreased to 49 × 10 /L. However, his platelet counts increased again to 422 × 10 /L. At the age of 11 years, he had a second relapse of ITP and again received immune globulin with successful increase in the platelet counts. For the current episode, he received IV immune globulin for the third time, to which he responded dramatically. Platelet associated immunoglobulin- G was found to be positive. He was discharged when his platelet counts started increasing. Two weeks following the third infusion of immune globulin, he http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Reactions Weekly Springer Journals
