    Notes: Abstract Antithrombin III (AT III) levels are markedly increased in newborn infants following exchange transfusion with adult blood, and subsequently return to pre-exchange values. This transient rise in AT III (heparin cofactor activity), was used to estimate its plasma elimination half-life. AT III activities were measured serially, before and after double-volume exchange transfusions with heparinised blood in newborn infants requiring therapy for severe hyperbilirubinaemia. The plasma elimination half-life of AT III activity was calculated to be 3.9±1.4 h ( $$\overline X = 2.05$$ ±SEM). Compared with published data on the kinetics of AT III infusions in adults, the neonate has a considerably accelerated turnover. This finding has important implications for the design of future therapeutic trials of AT III concentrates and provides further evidence that plasma proteins, including components of the coagulation system, appear to have different kinetics in the neonatal period.

    Notes: Abstract Two children aged 3 and 11 years are described in whom a combined autoimmune neutro-and thrombocytopenia developed in assciation with pronounced cell-membrane bound IgG. These latter antibodies were detected by the unlabelled immunoperoxidase (PAP) method. Prednisone therapy proved to be beneficial.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Im Verlauf einer schweren Gerinnungsstörung bei einem Säugling mit Sepsis und Schock wurden vor und während der Substitutionsbehandlung mit humanem Antithrombin wiederholt die Antithrombin-III Spiegel gemessen. Diese Daten wurden mit Hilfe einer Biexponentialfunktion mathematisch ausgewertet. Die Plasma-Eliminations-Halbwertszeit des Antithrombins betrug 7,5 bzw. 10,5 Stunden. Verglichen mit bekannten Plasma-Halbwertszeiten von radioaktiv markiertem Antithrombin III bei Erwachsenen war die Elimination um den Faktor 5–10 beschleunigt. Die deutlich erniedrigten Antithrombin III Spiegel in diesem Fall konnten also mindestens teilweise auf einen beschleunigten Umsatz des Antithrombins zurückgeführt werden. Die Bestimmung der Plasma-Eliminations-Halbwertszeit von Antithrombin III ist hilfreich bei der Abgenzung einer verminderten Produktion von einem gesteigerten Umsatz im Verlauf einer Koagulopathie. Die Diagnose einer disseminierten intravasalen Gerinnung kann so etwas sicherer gestellt werden. Die Vorteile der Antithrombin- Substitutionstherapie werden bei diesem Vorgehen genützt, die Nachteile radioaktiv markierter Proteine vermieden.
    Notes: Summary During the course of severe coagulopathy in an infant suffering from septicaemia and shock, antithrombin III levels were determined repeatedly before and during substitution therapy with human antithrombin. By mathematical analysis of these data, using a biexponential function, the plasma elimination half-life of the antithrombin III was estimated to be 7.5–10.5 h. Compared with known plasma half-lives of radioactively labelled antithrombin III in adults the increase was five-to ten-fold. This indicates that the significantly decreased levels of antithrombin III in this case of coagulopathy were at least partly due to an accelerated consumption of antithrombin III. The estimation of the plasma elimination half-life of antithrombin III helps to differentiate decreased production from increased consumption in cases of severe coagulopathy. Thus, a more precise diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation can be made whilst taking advantage of substitution therapy and avoiding the hazards of radioactive tracer proteins.
