Description

Dr. Speelziek interviews Dr. Kurt Kimpinski and Dr. Luciano Sposato on their article, Subcutaneous versus intravenous immunoglobulin for chronic autoimmune neuropathies. A meta-analysis. High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is an evidence-based treatment for multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Recently, subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SC-Ig) has received increasing attention. The authors performed a meta-analysis of reports of efficacy and safety of SC-Ig versus IVIg for inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies.The efficacy of SC-Ig is similar to IVIg for CIDP and MMN and has a significant safety profile.
