Abstract

A 4-year-old white boy with immune-mediated red cell aplasia and severe anemia was given high intravenous doses of gamma-globulin. The therapy was well tolerated and followed by complete resolution of the inhibition of erythropoiesis with no recurrence of disease. Eight months after discontinuation of treatment, the patient has a normal complete blood cell count.

The Pediatrics category covers resources on all aspects of clinical medicine in pediatrics. Pediatric specialties including cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology and infectious diseases, neurology, nutrition, oncology, psychiatry, surgery, tropical medicine, urology, and nephrology are also included. Resources concerned with neonatology and adolescent medicine are also covered.
Immunology incorporates cellular and molecular studies in immunology, as well as clinical research in immunopathology, infectious disease, autoimmunity, and allergy. Host-pathogen interactions in infectious disease, as well as experimental therapeutic applications of immunomodulating agents are also considered. Resources dealing primarily with the biology of microbial, viral, or parasitic pathogens are excluded and are covered in the Microbiology category.
