Intravenous immune globulin has been used in the treatment ofprimary and secondary antibody deficiencies for more than 25years. It is a safe preparation with no long-term side effects.Intravenous immune globulin was first demonstrated to be effectivein an autoimmune disorder idiopathic thrombocytopenicpurpura two decades ago. Since then, it has been establishedto be efficacious in the treatment of the GuillainBarrésyndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy,myasthenia gravis, corticosteroid-resistant dermatomyositis,and Kawasaki's syndrome and in the prevention of graft-versus-hostdisease in recipients of allogeneic bone marrow transplants.Benefits have been reported in many other autoimmune . . .
