Enfermedad hemolítica perinatal causada por anticuerpos anti-M y tratada con inmunoglobulinas intravenosas fetales / Hemolytic disease of the fetus due to anti-M antibodies treated with fetal intravenous immunoglobulin therapy

RESUMEN

Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 28 años, con 2 abortos tardíos previos causados por anticuerpos anti-M. En la actual gestación es tratada desde la semana 23 hasta la semana 34 con inmunoglobulinas intravenosas fetales, con resultado satisfactorio. Aunque no hay estudios randomizados y controlados que indiquen que las inmunoglobulinas fetales son efectivas en el manejo de la isoinmunización, pequeñas series de casos sugieren resultados prometedores (AU)

ABSTRACT

We present the case of a 28-year-old woman with two prior late miscarriages caused by anti-M antibodies, leading to alloimmunization of her previous pregnancies. During this pregnancy, she was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulins administered from the 23th to the 34th week of pregnancy. There are no randomized trials to indicate whether the antenatal use of intravenous immunoglobulin is effective in the management of fetal red blood cell alloimmunization. Several case series suggest a beneficial role in preventing severe fetal anemia (AU)
