Abstract
IVIG is the definitive therapy for primary immunodeficiency diseases associated with hypogammaglobulinemia or specific antibody deficiencies. Administration of IVIG is relatively safe, but occasional adverse reactions are usually self-limited and generally are not an indication for stopping therapy. Home administration of IVIG has found increasing favor among treating physicians and their patients.
