Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy: indications, potential side effects, and treatment guidelines.

Although intravenous immunoglobulin therapy is used mainly as a replacement therapy in humoral immune deficiency disorders and congenital or acquired conditions, the indications for its use have expanded over the last decade to other disease states, such as autoimmune diseases and variable chronic inflammatory syndromes.

It is essential to understand the underlying mechanisms of these potential reactions to assure safe administration.
