New Intravenous Preparations of Immunoglobulin

Twenty patients with agammaglobulinemia were treated either with usual intramuscular immune serum globulin (ISG) or intravenous modified ISG (MISG). Levels of IgG were higher with MISG and the number of infections pen month was significantly reduced.

Comment: These patients have had to suffer painful intramuscular injections because no satisfactory intravenous preparation of ISG had been produced. This study and others now report a new product which works better and causes less distress. Commercial availability is pending. (Cutter Laboratories, Inc).
