IVIG Associated Aseptic Meningitis in a Renal Transplant Patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
The management of antibody-mediated rejection in renal transplant recipients involves plasmapheresis with IVIG. Aseptic meningitis is a rare adverse effect of IVIG therapy and is a diagnosis of exclusion. We report a case of a renal transplant patient who developed IVIG associated aseptic meningitis in the context of management of antibody-mediated rejection, four years after transplantation.

platelets in the spleen. Conclusions. The authors concluded that IVIG inhibits autoantibody-mediated thrombocytopenia by inducing inhibitory Fc RIIB receptors on macrophages. The balance of inhibitory (Fc RIIB) and activating (Fc RIII) Fc receptors is likely to be a critical factor in the regulation of macrophage phagocytosis. These results suggest that autoantibody-triggered inflammatory disea...
