Home intravenous immunoglobulin therapy by self-administration

Abstract

Immunoglobulin replacement therapy is required by patients with certain antibody deficiency syndromes and is finding increasing application in other immune disorders such as immune thrombocytopenia. We describe the long-term home administration of intravenous gamma-globulin by seven patients themselves using a portable infusion pump. Over a period of as long as 2 years, this has proven to be effective, safe, and cost efficient and a good alternative to hospital or physicians' office-based infusions.
