Data are expressed asmean±SD . WBC, white blood cells; HGB,
hemoglobin; CRP, C-reactive protein; PLT,platelets. Group A:IVIG
retreatment group; Group B:MPT group.before therapy
:values1 day before the 2nd treatment.after therapy : values 7
days after the 2nd treatment.
△: difference in laboratory data were calculated using following
equation: (values 7 days after the 2nd treatment) −(values1 day before
the 2nd treatment).
The differences in laboratory data between1 day before and 7 days after
additional treatment are shown inTable2.No significant difference was
foundbetween the twogroupsin△WBC, △HGB and △albumin, but △Neutrophils%,
△CRP, △PLT, and△sodiumafter additional treatment in patientstreated with
MPT were significantly greaterthan in patientstreated with additional
IVIG treatment(P =0.048, P =0.039, P =0.027,P =0.043, P <0.05).
