Abstract:
:The purpose of this study was to evaluate neutropenia following intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy in adults with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).Our analysis included 88 patients with ITP, who received IVIG from January 2006 to March 2016, at Pusan National University Hospital in Korea. Their white blood cell (WBC) count and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) before and after IVIG treatment were analyzed.Of 88 patients, 24 patients (27.3%) were male, and 64 patients (72.7%) were female. Neutropenia developed in 8 patients (18.7%) after IVIG treatment. In patients with a decrease in WBC count and ANC compared to baseline, median WBC count decreased from 6280/μL to 4530/μL after IVIG therapy, and median ANC decreased from 3840/μL to 2840/μL after IVIG therapy. The neutropenia induced by IVIG had resolved spontaneously after several days, and the mean recovery time was 8.72 days after the completion of the IVIG treatment. During the neutropenic episodes, only one patient developed neutropenic fever, which subsided soon without any treatment.The results of this study suggest that IVIG may cause neutropenia commonly in adults with ITP, and it seems to be transient and self-limited. This study is meaningful as the first report that not only pediatric ITP patients may develop neutropenia post IVIG administration, but also adult patients suffering ITP.
