[Immunotherapy with anti-SARS-COV-2 neutralizing F(ab’)2 antibodies from equine serum in the treatment of outpatients with bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia]. Passive immunotherapy is a therapeutic alternative for patients with COVID-19. Methods: The decision was made to create a prospective database of patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, nonhypoxemic, treated on an outpatient basis at the Hospital de Bolívar, Dr. Miguel Capredoni, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with the aim of evaluating the efficacy in reducing severe cases and hospitalizations of treatment with hyperimmune equine serum in this subgroup of patients. We performed a retrospective analysis of the period from 05/26/2021 to 08/28/2021, where a total of 151 patients wer...
[Heteroimmune hemolytic anemia associated with antilymphocyte globulin treatment in a patient with aplastic anemia]. A 24-year-old male patient with a severe aplastic anemia (SAA) was treated with equine-antilymphocyte globulin (ALG). As complication of this treatment he developed a severe heteroimmune hemolytic anemia mediated by anti-species pan-agglutinin antibodies present in ALG. In spite of the fact that ALG is absorbed with red-cell stroma and platelets to remove anti-erythrocyte and anti-platelet contaminating antibodies, often only partial absorption is achieved, and the remaining antibodies are passively acquired by the recipient. Neutropenia and especially thrombocytopenia are usual complications ...
