Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a safe preparation, made of human plasma of thousands of healthy donors. The fascinating history of gamma globulin therapy begins in 1930 when Finland treated pneumococcal pneumonia patients with equine serum, which prolonged their survival from pneumonia. Since then, significant breakthroughs were achieved by Cohn, Bruton, Imbach, and others, whose clinical...
Background and Aims: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is one of the safest biological products, which is effective in the treatment of many diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the rational prescription pattern of IVIG based on the approved indications of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) among teaching hospitals in Birjand, Iran. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical stud...
BACKGROUND [corrected] Intravenous immunoglobulin administration has been beneficially used for the treatment of a variety of autoimmune diseases including myasthenia gravis, although its mode of action and active components have not yet been fully identified. OBJECTIVES To isolate from IVIg a disease-specific fraction involved in the therapeutic activity in myasthenia and to identify its pro...
Despite their increasing use in autoimmune, inflammatory, and allergic conditions, the mechanism of action of i.v. Igs (IVIg) is poorly understood. On the basis of the critical role of invariant NKT (iNKT) cells in allergic airway inflammation (AAI) and their constitutive expression of the low-affinity IgG receptor FcγRIIIA, we surmised that IVIg targets iNKT cells to exert their anti-inflammat...
The authors compared pre-treatment and post-treatment characteristics of 206 prospectively enrolled patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) responsive to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) with those of 23 (10% of total) IVIG non-responders. Demographic characteristics were similar in both groups. Compared to IVIG responders, non-responders had a longer total duration of fever and a higher incidence...
Acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) is a serious heart disease with limited treatment. This observational retrospective study aimed to investigate whether intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was able to improve left ventricular function and reduce the episodes of arrhythmia in adult patients with AFM. The medical records of all patients with AFM who were admitted to the Critical Care Unit of Guangd...
BACKGROUND We previously reported that biofilms and innate immunity contribute to the pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease. Therefore, we aimed to assess the efficacy of clarithromycin, an antibiofilm agent, in patients with Kawasaki disease. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted an open-label, multicenter, randomized, phase 2 trial at 8 hospitals in Japan. Eligible patients included children aged bet...
The effect of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment was studied in five patients with lower motor neuron disease associated with highly raised anti-GM1 antibodies but without evidence of conduction block on neurophysiological examination. The patients received IVIg treatment (0.4 g/kg for five consecutive days) in an open study. Only one patient responded to IVIg treatment, which was conf...
Approximately 10% of patients on the renal transplant (Tx) cadaver waiting list have high (> 20%) panel-reactive antibody (PRA) levels to human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Intravenous gamma-globulin (IVIG) has been shown to reduce anti-HLA cytotoxic antibody levels through an anti-idiotypic antibody-blocking effect. We report a successful renal Tx outcome in a 7-yr-old-girl with high PRA levels o...
