摘要
This review summarizes observations of clinical use of high dose intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVlg) in regards to administration, kinetics, known or postulated mechanisms of action, and adverse reactions. Indications and value of IVlg for the treatment of various neuropathies with presumed autoimmune aetiology are examined. New knowledge that advances the understanding of the pathogenesis of the neuropathies and of the mechanisms of action of IVIg is discussed.
