Abstract
80 cases of anti-Rho(D) treatment after mismatched transfusions are reviewed to compare the intramuscular (i.m.) and intravenous (i.v.) route of treatment. No severe reactions such as renal failure occurred with either method of anti-D treatment. If the Rh-immune globulin is injected i.m., 20 micrograms anti-D per ml red cells are used. For i.v. anti-D administration, 10-12 micrograms anti-D are suggested. The i.v. method of anti-D treatment is recommended for the future. Furthermore, a scheme of treatment for after mismatched transfusions is described.
