Intravenous Immunoglobulin as an Immunomodulating Agent in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitides: A French Nationwide Study of Ninety‐Two Patients

Abstract: Objective. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) represents a therapeutic alternative in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitides (AAV), but its efficacy has been evaluated in only 2 small prospective trials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IVIG in patients with AAV.Methods. We conducted a nationwide retrospective study of patients who received IVIG as immunomodulatory therapy for AAV.Results. A total of 92 patients (mean age 51 years) presenting with either gran… Show more

“…Intravenous immunoglobulin administration has been used as adjunctive therapy in AAV patients with refractory or relapsing disease, even if 11,9% of patients presented serious adverse events [85]. In severe cases of alveolar haemorrage, together with aggressive immunosuppressive therapy, plasmapheresis has been used [86].…”
