1. Are you asking about anti d globulin or e globulin? Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a disorder caused by accelerated destruction of antibody-coated platelets in the reticuloendothelial system (RES), especially the spleen. Inhibition of RES function following intravenous administration of high-dose immunoglobulin G (IVIG) or intravenous anti-D leads to rapid, albeit usually temporary, reversal of thrombocytopenia in the majority of children and adults with ITP. Little is known about its mechanisms of action.
2. A 2-3 week course of certain antibiotics (erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, dirithromycin, or doxycycline) is generally prescribed for mycoplasma pneumonia.
