This will be a prospective pilot study of the safety and efficacy of intravenous Anti-D for the treatment of significant thrombocytopenia prior to or during the treatment of hepatitis C infection (with peginterferon-based therapy) in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients. Hypothesis: Intravenous anti-D will increase platelet counts above the threshold of 50,000/uL recommended for the initiation of peginterferon therapy. Intravenous Anti-D will increase platelet counts above the threshold of 50,000/uL recommended for the dose reduction of peginterferon therapy.
