A 6 month old pediatric patient is B-negative. She has received a unit of platelet pheresis that appeared to be bloody. the estimated blood volume in the unit of platelets is estimated to be 5 mLs. Please calculate the dose of RhLg (standard) to be injected to this patient to prevent stimulation of alloanti-D (HINT: It's estimated that 5mL of red blood cells are in the unit of platelets, so think of the 5 mL volume of red blood cells as being "packed cells" rather than whole blood)
